The bubble has been quite slow so far.
One of the most exciting occurrences was when the 100-denomination chips were raced off.
At the moment Dean Blatt is the shortest stack in the room.
Slade Fisher opened with a raise from the button to 9,000 and the action was on the short stack of the field, Dean Blatt, in the small blind. He looked around at the other tables before giving a shrug and committing his last 21,000. The big blind folded and Fisher was priced in to call.

Blatt was in good shape to double up, and avoided danger on the flop.
The turn brought some chop outs for Fisher, but it was the river that was the dagger through the heart, and the tournament for our bubble boy, Dean Blatt.
He’s out as the remaining 24 players gave a cheer as they were now safely in the money!

We arrived at Table 8 to find Pravin Harji under the gun and all in for 55,500. It appeared Harji had limp-shoved following a raise to 16,000 from Punjabi in the big blind after a couple of players had followed suit and limped like Harji. Punjabi eventually made the call and the two players turned their hands over.
It was Harji's against Punjabi's .
The race situation went in Harji's favour as a flop gave him a set and the turn and sealed the deal.
Harji is now up to around 130,000 in chips, while Punjabi is safe on around 150,000.

Nicolas Oger has just tripled up. He was all in preflop and received two callers in Jason Cook and Sam Ruha. Oger watched on as Cook and Ruha checked down a and was then relieved to find that his was strong to win the pot. He’s now up to around 100,000.

Max Coppen is the first to visit the cashier following the burst of the bubble. Coppen was all in for his last 31,000 with but Amant Nauhria made the call with a very dominant .
The board would arrive to see Nauhria make a flush which was way too good for Coppen, who was eliminated in 24th place. Nauhria has plenty of support on the rail, and also plenty of chips, as he now sits with around 410,000.

We have lost our second in-the-money player of the night.
This time it was Petr Humpl who made his way to the rail with some cash for his time and it was a brutal elimination considering he was all in preflop holding against the of Amant Nauhria. It was the flop that hurt Humpl as the dealer spread out to give Nauhria a set.
The turn and river weren’t of help to Humpl and he was sent home in 23rd place.
