Pratyush Buddiga opened for 60,000 and Joseph Kent moved all in. Buddiga called almost before the chips were in.

Buddiga had found aces again to eliminate Kent and set the unofficial final table of 10.
Joseph Kent appears to be the shortest stack left and is in need of a double after sinking to just over 10 blinds. He opened small blind to 70,000 and Noah Vaillancourt put him all in. Kent shook his head after some time and folded.
Michael Gagliano moved all in for 300,000 and Ryan Leng called.

The river delayed the final table and gave Gagliano a precious double-up.
Noah Vaillancourt raised on the button and Pratyush Buddiga called in the big blind. Buddiga check-called 40,000 on the 
flop and both players checked the 
turn. Buddiga bet 50,000 on the river and Vaillancourt put in 270,000. Buddiga snap-called but saw Vaillancourt roll over for top set.
Buddiga said he had two pairs.
