Allan Bieler was the primary beneficiary of David Prociak’s fall from grace during the last level, and he returned from break in second place overall. He wasted no time moving his name to the top of the leaderboard, though.

In one of the first hands of the new level, the under-the-gun player opened to 120,000, and Bieler three-bet to 305,000 in the cutoff. Daniel Wilson four-bet shoved for 1,425,000 total from the small blind, the initial raiser folded, and Bieler called to put his opponent at risk.

Bieler: JsJh
Wilson: 9c9d

The board ran out KhQd5dAdAs, and Bieler won the knockout pot with aces and jacks to take the chip lead. Wilson was eliminated after outlasting nearly 99 percent of the field.

Allan Bieler – 5,950,000 (99 bb)
Daniel Wilson – Eliminated in 59th place ($3,116)
