The field reached 16 players which meant it was time for a redraw. Given the convenience of it, the players decided to take their one-hour dinner break a bit early. Cards will be back in the air at 7:30 p.m. local time. Benjamin "Spraggy" Spragg is the last $300 pro bounty remaining.

With 22 players remaining it was the money bubble and hand-for-hand play was instituted.
Not long after, action folded to Brian Metzger on the button and he moved all in for his last 18,000, which Miguel Cardenas called from the big blind.
Cardenas: 
Metzger: 
Metzger got it in good but failed to come out the winner as the board ran out 
to give Cardenas a flush.
Metzger's elimination in 22nd place means the remaining players are guaranteed a minimum payday of $400.
