After a small slowdown in the action, Table 8 saw a huge pot with a three-way all-in and big hands all around.

Michelle Shah: AdAc
Michael Telker: KsKd
Raymond Roberty: QhQc

Shah was in a great position for the double up until the dealer spread the KcTh5h flop. The board ran clean for Telker’s set to give him the double elimination.

While that was going on, Stephen Diamantas and Abbey Daniels were going out on the other table to put them on the final table bubble. Which promptly burst when Telker was knocked out even after collecting all those chips.
