Phil Hellmuth opened to 24,000 in the hijack and Dan Shak three-bet to 100,000 in the cutoff. Pedro Bromfman called in the big blind and Hellmuth folded.
Bromfman drew one and Shak stood pat.
Bromfman moved in enough chips to cover his opponent, and Shak called all-in for his 113,000 chips.
Shak tabled for number 11 to secure the double-up as Bromfman mucked.
After David Lambard opened 25,000 under the gun, Alex Livingston raised to 100,000 from the cutoff. Lambard put his last 125,000 or so in the middle and both players stood pat.
Livingston's eight perfect was good enough to beat Lambard's to send the bracelet winner to the rail in 14th place.

Scott Seiver will be returning to the felt as the chip leader and will be looking to snag a fifth career bracelet and second bracelet of the series after his victory in Event #3: $2,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em only a couple of weeks ago.
Pedro Bromfman
Pedro Bromfman is a film composer and music producer and sits just behind Seiver in the current chip standings. Although he doesn’t have the poker résumé that many of his opponents have, his limited poker results do include a sixth-place finish in this event during the 2019 WSOP, and he will have an opportunity to surpass that.
Farzad Bonyadi is looking to defend his title as he won this exact event during the 2021 WSOP for his fourth career bracelet, and today he could find number five. Eli Elezra is another player with a possibility of a fifth bracelet if he can accumulate all of the chips at the end of the day.
Farzad Bonyadi
Brazil’s Yuri Dzivielevski has a shot at a third piece of gold jewelry, and Canada’s Alex Livingston is hoping he can win a second one after he won, lost, and reunited with his first not too long ago. Jerry Wong, Cary Katz, and Dan Shak are among those with an opportunity to secure a maiden bracelet.
Phil Hellmuth has his eyes set on bracelet number 17, and with a stack in the top half of the leaderboard, his vision could soon become a reality. His most recent bracelet was won during the 2021 WSOP in a $1,500 No Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw event, and he is hoping to stay positive enough to continue his success in the format.
The final day is set to begin soon at 2 p.m. local time. It is scheduled to be streamed on delay on PokerGO once the field is whittled down further. Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team returns to bring you updates until a champion is crowned.
