James Park	4,100,000	200,000
Kyle Montgomery	3,900,000	800,000

Joel Feldman claimed the blinds two hands in a row and also raised the third consecutive hand to 800,000 first to act. Jeremy Ausmus came along from the small blind to see the     flop and both players opted to check. This brought the   on the turn and both players opted to check it down once more.

In the very first hand after coming back from the break, Eoghan O'Dea raised the pot to 1,050,000 and Jeremy Ausmus three-bet the pot to 3,600,000 in the cutoff. O'Dea eventually stuck his stack in and Ausmus called for very few chips more.

Eoghan O'Dea:     
Jeremy Ausmus:     

The     flop was a disaster for O'Dea, as his king would give Ausmus a straight and he was already in need of running cards to avoid the elimination. It was all over after the   turn and he stood up, grabbed his belongings and shook hands with all remaining finalists while the meaningless   came on the river.

O'Dea finished 6th in this very event two years ago and does so again in the 2019 edition, receiving $169,173 for his efforts.

Jeremy Ausmus	9,700,000	4,100,000
Eoghan O'Dea	0	-3,700,000

James Park made it 480,000 to go from the cutoff and Eoghan O'Dea three-bet the pot to 1,800,000 from the button off a stack of 11 big blinds. The action folded back to Park, who studied the stack size of his opponent. Eventually, Park also surrendered and O'Dea claimed the pot under the eyes of his father Donnacha O'Dea on the rail.

Jeremy Ausmus limped the button and Dash Dudley did so from the small blind, Joel Feldman checked in the big blind and they headed to the     flop. Once the action checked to Ausmus, he bet 240,000 and won the final hand of the level.

James Park limped the button, O'Dea filled up from the small blind and Jeremy Ausmus made it three ways to the     flop, which was checked through. On the   turn, O'Dea bet the minimum for 240,000 and Ausmus was the only one to stick around.

The   fell on the river and neither player checked. Ausmus tabled      for the busted nut flush draw and a pair on the river, and that ended up as the winning hand.

Eoghan O'Dea	4,600,000	1,000,000
Kyle Montgomery	4,000,000	-800,000

Dash Dudley raised the button to 475,000 and he was called by Kyle Montgomery in the big blind to see a     flop. Montgomery checked and a bet of 325,000 by Dudley shut down all further action.

Montgomery limped the small blind next and a raise to 600,000 by James Park in the big blind won the pot right there.

Park's pot-sized raise from the small blind forced a fold from Eoghan O'Dea and that continued the trend of no major action as of recently.

Park then raised to 450,000 and Jeremy Ausmus three-bet the pot on the button to 1,650,000 in order to claim the chips uncontested.

Dash Dudley	7,400,000	300,000
James Park	6,200,000	0

Up next it was Jeremy Ausmus that raised the pot to 700,000 from the cutoff and he found no resistance either.

Eoghan O'Dea raised to 450,000 first to act and Park defended his big blind to see a     flop. Both checked to the   turn, which brought another check from Park. O'Dea made it 300,000 and that won the pot for Irishman right there.

Dash Dudley	7,900,000	-100,000

Andrey Razov raised the pot to 700,000 with 215,000 from under the gun and Dash Dudley three-bet from two seats over. All other players got out of the way and Razov called all in to create the third all in showdown of the day.

Andrey Razov:     
Dash Dudley:     

Both players flopped a pair on     and Dudley improved to two pair on the   turn. Razov needed a jack to chop or a nine to double, but instead Dudley further improved to a full house with the   river to reduce the field to the final six.

Razov takes home $125,215 for his efforts.

Dash Dudley	8,200,000	1,200,000
Andrey Razov	0	-915,000
