Leblond Is Bubble Boy; We Are In The Money!
Jean Leblond had a mere 5,000 chips behind and he was seemingly fortunate enough to pick up a big enough hand to move all in with: pocket queens. Isaac Baron had 
and unfortunately for Leblond, a king rolled off on the flop, eliminating him from play and sealing his fate as the bubble boy.
Simultaneously across the room, a short-stacked Patrick Wang was all in with 
against an opponent's 
. The flop looked fairly safe for Wang as it came 
, but the turn and river were the 
and the respectively, giving Wang's opponent a flush and eliminating him from play.
The tournament staff ruled that the payouts go by chip count which means that Leblond is our official bubble boy as he started the hand with less chips. Wang, on the other hand, is our 108th place finisher and the first player in the field to cash.
