Bubble Burst on JD
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
We are finally in the money, with John "JD" Dichiera the unfortunate bubble boy.
The action went down preflop with Dichiera's last 50,000 or so chips going in the middle holding 
, but unfortunately Dichiera ran into the dominant 
of James Broom.
The board bricked out 
to see Dichiera go home empty-handed as the remaining 24 players are now safely in the money.
Meanwhile Broom is now up to 475,000 and back in control of his table.
The remaining 24 players are now in the money!

Hand-For-Hand Begins
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
With 25 players remaining we are now on the bubble and play is hand-for-hand. The next player eliminated will go home empty handed, while the 24 surviving players will be guaranteed at least $3,900 for their efforts.
Barry Two off the Money
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Barry Crossey has just been eliminated in 26th place - two off the money. Crossey was all in preflop holding 
and would have to get lucky against Manjot Singh's 
.
Unfortunately for Crossey a couple of days of hard work came to an end when a 
board was spread on the felt.
We are no on the bubble!

Play Slows Up
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
The orbit-for-orbit play has been slow so far. Two players off the money and the players realise what's at stake. The most exciting thing that has happened in the last ten minutes has been the coloring up of the 500-denomination chips.

David Fragomeni opened with a raise to 5,000 from middle position with James Broom the lone caller in the cutoff position. They took a flop of 
and Fragomeni led out for 7,000. Broom responded with a raise to 18,200 and Fragomeni made the call.
The turn brought a repeat and Fragomeni checked to Broom who took a glance at his opponent's stack before betting 28,000. Fragomeni quickly called and the river produced a dangerous looking

Fragomeni tapped the table and Broom didn't waste time in moving all in. Despite being on the bubble, Fragomeni had no fear and made the call with which was too strong for Broom's 
.

Orbit by Orbit
Level 13
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
We are now down to 26 remaining players meaning we are two players off the money. Here at Crown Perth, that means we are now going to deal orbit-for-orbit. Just as it sounds, that means dealers have been instructed to deal one orbit and then stop.
