Steve Billirakis made it 3,700 to go before Joe Baldwin bumped it up to 9,600. Billirakis moved all in and Baldwin made the call.
Billirakis: 
Baldwin: 
The board rolled out 
.
Billirakis doubled to just over 50,000 and Baldwin is down to 105,000.
Annette Obrestad, Tony Licastro and a player to be named later have joined powers to be a tri-bubble person.
Since they were eliminated during the same hand, the three will split the the 126th and 125th place prizes. By our math that's $3,188 per person.
One of the three eliminations happened at the feature table and when we heard a commotion we rushed to catch it. Matt Graham was the executioner and he was kind enough to give us the scoop.
According to Graham, he opened to 3,100 from under the gun and Tony Licastro called out of the big blind. The flop fell 
and Licastro checked to Graham who continued for 5,000. Licastro check-raised to 15,000 and Graham went into the tank.
"Let's move on to the next hand," he told Graham.
"Raise," Graham announced. But before he could say a number or put chips in the pot he was cut off by Licastro who announced all in.
Graham opted to make the minimum raise since Licastro's bet was binding. After thinking for a moment Graham opted to call.
Showdown
Graham: 
Licastro: 
(oopsy)
The 
on the river ended the hand, and after the rivered Licastro's elimination was official. Graham is now up to 150,000 chips.
The other two eliminations occurred in the main playing area.
Obrestad made it 2,400 to go on Table 358 and Justin "Boosted J" Smith bumped it up to 8,800. Obrestad moved all in and was at risk after being called by Smith.
Showdown
Obrestad: 
Smith: 
The board came down 
and Smith increased his stack to 133,000 while Obrestad hit the rail.
Once we find out who the third player was, we will surely inform you
There were three eliminations during the last hand and the hands are coming shortly.
The minimum payout from here is $4,782 but everyone is surely eyeing the $630,031 first place prize.
The board read 
when Alexander Ivarsson was all in at at risk against Richard Robinson.
Showdown
Ivarsson 
Robinson: 
Ivarsson held when the bricked and doubled to 100,000 chips.

The flop came down 
and it looked as though Hirleman would find a double up. The turn brought the 
, but it was the river that did the trick.
Two players have doubled on the bubble so far.
Edward Sabat was all in and at risk with

Tim Kahlmeyer was also at risk and dominated holding . Peter Hotaling called the four-bet shove with but Kahlmeyer drew out when the board ran

Kahlmeyer received a nice gift on the river doubling to 104,000 chips and Hotaling slipped to 103,000.
There was yet one more double thanks to another fortuitous river. Matt Iles was all in with and racing against the 
of Jarred Solomon. The flop was ace high and after a queen turned, the spiked on the river doubling Iles to 32,000 chips. Solomon is down to 77,000.
