There was no bubble paid so at 65 players remaining, and 63 spots paid a minimum of $590, two players had to bust simultaneously in order for the 63rd player to min cash.  That player was Tong Hai Lee, who squeezed into the money with one 500 ante!
Still several notable players still in the running for the $31,210 top prize!

They just started the final table and a player announced "All-In" in front of John's big blind.  When action reached him, he peeked down and called "All-In," and was covered in chips.

Hemme: [Ad][Kd]
opponent: [Ah][Td]

The flop came a TEN, while the turn brought a diamond giving John the nut flush draw.  So his outs were any King, or Diamond.  It wasn't meant to be as the river blanked and John went out first from the final table!

Another player in earlier position moves in before Bruce.  He decides to go with his hand and it puts him at risk!  His opponent was the current chip leader at the table.

Krammer: [Ad][Qc]
opponent: [Ac][Td]

Flop: [Jh][Th][6d]
The flop is gin for Bruce's opponent but still gives him outs to any King or Queen!  The problem was that it wasn't meant to be as the turn and river were blanks and Bruce had to take consolation in 9th!

Betty Hall

As the shortest stack at the table, Betty decided to shove under the gun.  She was called "All-In" by her neighbor directly to her left!

Hall: [Jh][4h]
opponent: [Ks][Qd]

The flop came a King and Betty was drawing slim, the turn gave little help and Hall's tournament concluded in the 8th of the original 213 players!

Turobiner: [Qd][Jc]
opponent: [Ts][Tc]

The Flop came: [As][Kd][Qc]
Turn was: [9c]

The river was mirciless against Turobiner who made two pair and lost against the 5th street broadway of the chip leader.

Richard Anderson moved in with a medium Ace and was snap called by Jon Peck who had the lead, both by chips and cards.  When the cards were flipped up they showed down:

Anderson: [Ah][9h]
Peck: [Kc][Kd]

The flop offered little help to Richard as it ran: [Jh][Td][4c]
The turn closed any runner-runner hopes with a: [Jc]
The river: [Qd] brought the table to the final 4 as Richard smiled and bowed out.

Mari Lou Morelli

At level 21, with two tables & less than 18 players remaining, Mari Lou Morelli is the chip leader by over Four Times the chip average.  The average chips at this time was $300,000.  Within two monstrous hands she catapulted her chips to over 1.3-Million!

The first impactful hand on a flop of [Qs][6s][3s], Mari bet the flop, another chip leader, who had her covered at the time (effective stacks about $300,000), 3-bet, she then initiated a 4-bet shove and was called.
Morelli: [Ks][Qd]
opponent: [Ad][Js]
The turn put out a [9s] giving her the second nut flush and an unbeatable hand!  She takes a full double up to over $600,000, which was already Two Times the chip average.

The second hand that put her in the stratosphere! There was an under-the-gun (UTG) raiser, followed by an all-in shove for $300,000!  In the big blind, Mari Lou called the raise.  According to the table a player folded two Jacks after the action folded to him.  The initial UTG raiser folded.
Morelli: [Qd][Qc]
opponent: [6s][6d]
The board did not help either player (including the Jacks that supposedly folded), and she scoops a pot that puts her over the Million chip mark!

Joseph Joffino

All-in pre-flop, Joseph moved in and was covered by the stack of his opponent who re-shoved all-in in order to ensure the pot was isolated.

opponent:[Ac][Kd]
Joffino: [Ah][Qh]

The flop came all low cards with two diamonds, turn a diamond, river a [Jc].  The board ran out without helping either player and the "nut no pair" wins the pot and Joseph was the first player eliminated from the final table!

Timothy Decoudres

More all-in pre-flop action as the shorter stack, Timothy Decoudres moves in and is called by the big blind.  Head's up to the flop.

opponent: [Ad][7h]
Decoudres: [Qc][Th]

The flop came an [As] giving his opponent top pair and Timothy needing miracle running cards.  Unfortunately, the prayers weren't answered this time as Decoudres bows out having survived 329 other players!

With about three big blinds remaining, Gillian Groves opens all-in for the rest of her chips.  The big blind, who is currently one of the chip leaders, called the remaining chips.

opponent: [Qh][9d]
Groves: [Td][9c]

The board ran out blanks for both players, resulting in Queen high playing as the kicker, bringing the curtains down on Gillian's play at the final table!

In postion, it is folded to Eemaun when he made a huge raise of 10-big blinds, committing the majority of his stack.  The big blind called out of position and the flop came: [8d][7d][5c].  It checked to Latifi who then puts the rest of his stack, which was nothing more than a blind or two and is quickly called.

opponent: [Js][Jd]
Latifi: [Ac][4c]

Although it looked like Eemaun had outs on this flop, the pre-flop action was the climax of this hand as his hand did not improve to the gut-shot-straight or Ace needed to scoop.  Leaving the table it seemed that he was a bit weary as to the strength of his opponents hand, "There was no way you were going anywhere, right?" The winner of this hand was sitting with a sizable chip stack and not going anywhere soon.

As one of the unfortunate short-stacks at the final table, Paul Lui shoved all-in from UTG for about six big blinds.  It folded to the big blind who seemed reluctant to call, even-though he was one of the chip leaders.  Finally the call was made.

Lui: [Ad][2s]
opponent: [Kd][Tc]

The 60/40 race between Lui and the villain went unfavorable for Paul as the flop came: [Th][9c][4s],  The turn offered no help with another [4d], as his last hope was for an Ace.  The river came the [4c] and Mr. Lui had to settle for a consolation prize of over $6K for his efforts, still a very prosperous start to his Lunar New Year!

After a min raise from UTG, Mari Lou shovee her remaining stack in the middle for about 10 big blinds.  It folded to the UTG who called.

opponent: [5c][5d]
Morelli: [Ks][Qh]

The Flop came out [Td][9h][7s] giving Ms. Morelli two over cards and the gut shot straight draw with any Jack!  The Turn came the [Th].  Now any pairing of the board along with any King, Queen, or Jack would give her the pot.  Unfortunately for Mari Lou, the [Ad] fell on the river, ending her run for the victory but netting her a very profitable tournament and well played overall game!
