With only 15% eligible for the next stage of the race, it was a hard grind to claim one of the 18 spots. Luckily, free drinks were flowing for all participants to keep spirits up all day and night.

Just before the tenth hour of play, the bubble burst with Scott Hess scooping up with pocket Aces. This gave him the second largest stack of the day.
