Alexander Kostritsyn Eliminated in 27th Place ($22,090)

[user42991]

Alexander Kostritsyn had been nursing a short stack for most of the level leading up to the dual eliminations at bubble time. Shortly after the bubble burst, Kostritsyn was all in. Unfortunately, we did not get to see the hand he was eliminated on, but he is in the payout line receiving his money.

Kostritsyn is eliminated in 27th place and will receive $22,090 for his efforts

We Are in the Money!!!

[user42991]

Normally we have a period of time where play is conducted hand for hand until we reach the money. This time however we had two players eliminated at the same time, and as a result, hand for hand is not needed.

With the elimination of Brunson and Nguyen, we are in the money. Players will finish out this level and then head for break. They have redrawn for new seat assignments. We will update shortly after the break.

Bubble Boy Honors Shared

[user67765]

After heavy action Doyle Brunson found himself all in on the turn against James Grove on a board of {J-Clubs}

.

Brunson showed {A-Hearts}

for a pair of aces and tens against Grove's {A-Spades}

for jacks and tens and straight draw.

The river was a cruel one for Brunson as the {Q-Clubs}

gave Grove the straight to eliminate Brunson from the tournament.

At the very same time Thang Nguyen was involved in a big pot against Ram Vaswani. The board ran out {7-Spades}

which missed Nguyen completely as he showed {Q-Diamonds}

to send the pot to Vaswani with {A-Diamonds}

for a full house.

Both eliminations happened at the same time so they share the bubble boy honors as the remaining 27 players are thrilled to now be in the money!
