$3,500 Seminole Hard Rock RRPO Championship
Level 19: 4,000/8,000 with a 500 ante
Players Remaining: 74 of 760
Mike Amato was eliminated from one of the far tables, reducing the field to 73 players and putting them on the direct bubble. There were a few hands still in progress, however.
In one of them, Russell Thomas moved all in for about 120,000 in the cutoff, and Will Failla re-shoved with his big stack on the button. The blinds folded, and Thomas was heads-up and at risk for his tournament life.

Failla:
The board ran out , and Failla won the pot with a set of queens. Thomas, a former WSOP November Niner, was eliminated as the bubble boy in 73rd place.
The 72 remaining players are now all in the money.
