Phil Galfond had just taken a significant portion of Birinder Nijran's stack, knocking Nijran down to his last 45,000 or so. Then the following hand took place.

Galfond limped, Nijran raised to 25,000, and Galfond just called. The flop came {10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, Galfond bet, and Nijran called with the last of his chips.

Galfond {8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Nijran {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Nijran's aces were still good. But the river brought the {J-Clubs}, giving Galfond a straight and the pot. Birinder Nijran is our bubble boy, finishing in 19th place.

They are redrawing for the final two tables.

Hand for Hand

Our three remaining tables are now playing hand for hand and will continue to do so until one more player is eliminated and the bubble bursts.
