The action is hand-for-hand on the money bubble after Lithuania’s Liutauras Armanavicius hit the rail in 29th place. Armanavicius open-jammed for about 12 big blinds from the hijack. Elvijs Kuceruks came in over the top for more than 600,000 from the button. Baris Topuz tanked for a minute before flashing ace-queen to the table and folding.
