Two Players Go on the Day 1 Bubble

Nearly simultaneous eliminations occurred on the Day 1 bubble. Joanne Monteavaro eliminated one player when her {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} defeated her opponent's {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} when a third eight hit the turn.

At another table, Mike "GoLeafsGoEh" Leah called an opponent's all-in bet on a board reading {6-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {6-Clubs}. Leah held {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} while his opponent tabled {Q-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. The {10-Hearts} came on the river and Leah made a better two pair to win the pot.
