Third Time Dreadfully Unlucky - Bubble Bursts

So, to the shortest of our all-in bubble time stacks.

The flop read {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {A-Clubs} when the chips went in.

10 minutes or so passed before they got to turn their cards over.

Cole Michael Robinson: {10-Hearts} {8-Clubs} for two pair
Michael Piper and his awesome moustache (photos to follow): {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} for a set

Turn: {Q-Diamonds}, leaving Robinson drawing officially dead

River: {10-Diamonds} giving both players full houses but not actually changing anything.

They shook hands and Robinson was out. "You cashed though," said Piper, but then immediately felt bad because Robinson informed him that he had not. As the shortest of the two bustees on the bubble, Robinson got nothing but the proverbial wooden spoon. He was a real gent about it, standing and smiling while Italians pushed cameras in his face.

Ladies and gentlemen, let the carnage begin.

Break?

We're still filling in a few hands below, but the bubble has definitely burst and the field has been sent off for a 15-minute break. There was 06:40 left on the clock, and the staff has added 15 minutes to leave 21:40 in the current level when the players return.

Stay tuned for the bubble action.

/Break

Everyone's had their 15 minutes of fun and celebration, and now it's time to get back to work. We're still in Level 16 for the time being.

Rinaldi Picks Up a Double

Claudio Rinaldi was all in before the flop with {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}, and he found favorable action from Nicola Pero's dominated {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}.

The board ran out safe for the at-risk player: {8-Clubs} {2-Spades} {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades}. Rinaldi only had about 55,000 to start the hand, and his new stack of about 125,000 gets him at least out of the danger zone for now.
