When the final table started, it was Yuri "sjeverest" Suvorov who held the chip lead, while Livshitz was actually one of the shorter stacks. However, Livshitz quickly went to work, knocking out short stack Shihhui Wang in seventh place. He would follow that up with a double through Lasse Enojarvi, and then eliminate one of the most accomplished players at the final table, Niklas Astedt, in fifth place.
Idris Ambraisse would be the next player to hit the exit, and his knockout was courtesy of Suvorov. Three-handed play took a while, before Livshitz secured the knockout of Shengchao Zhu, when his aces held against the player from Singapore.
And aces would prove the trick during heads-up play, which lasted only a few minutes, with Livshitz holding them once more to eliminated Suvorov and earning himself his first ever WSOP bracelet.

Other players like Samuel Vousden and Qibing "degenkaliu" Wang are still alive after taking a share of the chip lead at one point in the day before McCully took control. They will return tomorrow for a shot at the WSOP gold bracelet.
