With only two players remaining until the money bubble bursts, the action has significantly slowed down. Michael Howard was on a short stack and opened for 80,000 on the button, leaving only 6,000 behind. It folded to Gerald Karlic in the big blind who moved all in and Howard eventually put in his remaining chips to be the player at risk.
Michael Howard: A♦K♣
Gerald Karlic: J♠J♣
It was a classic flip situation and when the board ran out A♠7♣2♣6♣6♦, it was the ace-king that came out on top to score the double up for Howard two away from the money.

Stephen Chidwick was forced all in from the big blind with just a single 1,000-chip and was at risk as action folded to Mauricio Salazar Sanchez in the small blind.
Stephen Chidwick: A♦4♦
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: Q♣5♦
Chidwick was able to maintain the best hand for a very small double with ace-high as the board ran out A♥6♥Q♦K♣2♥.
The high-stakes crusher still only had half a big blind and therefore was once again forced all in from the small blind. Thomas Graupner opened to 9,000 from the hijack and Salazar Sanchez called on the button.
The flop of J♥5♣Q♥ checked through and the same action took place on the 2♥ turn. Both players checked again on the 5♦ river and Salazar Sanchez showed 8♥8♦ to win the pot as Graupner showed A♦K♣ and Chidwick showed A♠9♦ to mark his elimination on the soft money bubble.

In a heads-up pot with close to 50,000 in the middle on a board showing 9♥7♦2♥Q♦, [Removed:428] checked from the small blind to Mihails Morozovs in the hijack who bet 42,000. Maloku moved all in, covering the 160,000 stack of Morozovs, who snap-called for their tournament life.
Mihails Morozovs: Q♥Q♠
[Removed:428]: 7♥7♣
Maloku out-flopped Morozovs with a set, but was out-drawn on the turn to have only one out left. The 2♣ completed the board and Morozovs scored a massive double up on the stone bubble.

Ryhor Karapanau opened to 10,000 in early position and Yasuhiro Waki shoved all in for 37,000 in the big blind. Karapanau asked for a count before making the call.
Yasuhiro Waki: A♥A♦
Ryhor Karapanau: Q♣J♣
"I'm the winner," Waki let the audience know before the cards were tabled. The dealer fanned the flop of A♣Q♦4♣ to give Waki a set of aces but Karapanau picked up a pair and a flush draw.
The 5♥ on the turn was a brick but the 2♣ on the river gave Karapanau a flush. Waki was left with his head in his hands as he walked away disappointed and empty-handed.

The action folded to Orpen Kisacikoglu on the button who opened for 12,000. [Removed:449] made the call in the small blind and Luis Pinho De Faria moved all in for 45,000 in the big blind. Kisacikoglu took a moment before sliding in a raise to 78,000 and Sadeghpourfard got out of the way.
Luis Pinho De Faria: A♠J♣
Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♦10♠
De Faria found himself in a great situation against the worse kicker for Kisacikoglu, but when the board ran out K♣K♥5♠10♦8♥, it was the pair of tens on the turn that sealed the deal for Kisacikoglu to send De Faria to the rail.
