(49° – $3,020) and Europe’s Andrius Bielskis 
(53° -$3,020) who joined Sengeno Valstybes 
(63° – $2,720) in the rail.
Colombian player Sebastian Toro was the bubble of the competition after being eliminated by Jorge Ellena . Toro announced his all-in with 9 9 and Ellena called with pocket 10 10. The board didn’t help Toro who was the last player eliminated without cashing.
