It took three hands to get there but Flight A is now in the money with the clock was paused at 15:35 remaining in the level.

Martin Carnero took a two shots but no one looked up him before the big came on Table 2. Jonathan Sanchez put Al Gomez all-in with the board reading Qd9h8h. Gomez went into the tank for several minutes before Sanchez called the clock.

He called the bet as the tournament supervisor was counting down from ten and saw he was in trouble. Sanchez was ahead with QsQh and Gomez was left with a gutshot draw holding TsTh. No help on the 4s turn or 5c river and Gomez was out in 51st.

The remaining 50 players are guaranteed a piece of the prize pool and will return on Monday to play out. Chad Freedman finished as the chip leader with 639,000 and Sanchez bagged the second biggest stack at 424,000.
