Three Players Bust to Burst The Money Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gordon McKenzie bursts the money bubble

Two players busted simultaneously on one table and another player busted on a different table, causing a three-way bubble.

On the first table, Gordon McKenzie limped from under-the-gun and and a short-stacked player shoved for their last 65,000 from the cutoff. Jay Jin called on the button and action folded back to McKenzie, who then shoved for around 200,000. Jin went deep into the tank, but eventually committed his stack for less for a three-way all in.

Gordon McKenzie: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Jay Jin: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Cutoff: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The top three hands in Hold'em had run into each other, and the {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} runout kept McKenzie best — allowing him to scoop the sizable pot while eliminating two opponents.

At the same time on the second table, a very short-stacked player committed their last 6,000 from under-the-gun and action folded to Evan Kochav in the cutoff, who raised to 58,000. Everyone else folded and hands were tabled.

Evan Kochav: {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Under-the-gun: {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The dealer brought a {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Clubs} runout — giving Kochav a flush on the river to KO his opponent.

As a result of the unusual circumstance, Jay Jin took a full $500 min-cash for having the largest stack of the players that busted and the other two players split $500 between them.
