Many of the big names—such as Paul Phua, Punnat Punsri, Jesse Lonis, and Phil Ivey, as well as Artur Martirosian, Mikita Badziakouski, and Samuel Mullur—were eliminated right away.
Matthias Eibinger was short-stacked and soon had to leave the table. Four players were all-in on his bust-out hand. Matthias held 8s. Sam Greenwood held 
, Patrik Antonius held 
, and Dan Dvoress held 
. The board 
worked out perfectly for Dan, leaving three seats open.
Aleks Ponakov, Eelis Parssinen, and Isaac Haxton also failed to make the money. On the soft bubble, Jean-Noel Thorel went home empty-handed; the bubble itself was once again fiercely contested—with several stacks under 20 BBs. In the end, it was Kiat Lee who would leave without a title or trophy this time; he was defeated with 
against Danny Tang’s and finished in 12th place with nothing to show for it.
Alex Foxen was initially lucky enough to double up his 5 BBs, only to be eliminated shortly afterward with 
against Seth Davies’ 
on the board 
—but he still walked away with $251,000. Ben Tollerene, who had even held the lead briefly on the bubble, first had to give up half his stack with 
against held by Thomas Boivin, then lost another half of his stack to Murly Manokharan, and finally was eliminated in 10th place while short-stacked with 7s against 
held by Murly Manokharan.
Manokharan then took a lot of chips from Dan Dvoress as well; shortly afterward, Dvoress was eliminated with his queens against held by Miroslav Atanasov. Seth Davies was also unable to secure a second trophy; he had to give up his seat with against 
held by Nick Petrangelo.
Danny Tang then finished in 7th place when he flopped out of position with 
against Miroslav Atanasov’s jacks. Murly Manokharan achieved his personal best Triton score when he finished in 6th place with against Adrian Mateos’s queens.
Thomas Boivin then lost almost all his chips with 
against Joao Simao’s aces; although he managed to stage a brief comeback, he ultimately had to bow out with pocket 4s against Adrian Mateos’s 
.
The action continued with plenty of excitement and big pots; ultimately, it was Miroslav Atanasov who was the next to be eliminated. Adrian Mateos had his next Triton trophy within his grasp, but ultimately had to settle for third place. With , he lost his last chips to Joao Simao, who held pocket 3s.
