The bubble has burst!
In dramatic fashion too.
It was just a few minutes after the massive Corey Kempson hand.
It started with Michael Chrisanthopoulos opening to 8,000 from under the gun. The action then folded around to in the big blind and this is when Michael Fraser moved all in for around 80,000. Chrisanthopoulos went deep into the tank and eventually made the call, putting Fraser at risk.
Fraser: 
Chrisanthopoulos: 
It was looking like Fraser would double on the bubble.
Then the dealer flipped over a 
flop. Chrisanthopoulos now had a double gut shot straight draw. The turn was a safe 
and it was down to one card.
River: 
Ouch!
Chrisanthopoulos had made Broadway and just like that we Fraser was the bubble boy.
The remaining 62 players are in the money and guaranteed $3,100!

Corey Kempson has just made an excellent hero call on the stone-cold bubble to double through chip leader Vincent Chua, much to the dismay of the other 63 players in the room.
Apparently the hand had began 10 minutes earlier, before Liam O'Rourke had been eliminated. By the time we arrived to see a board of 
and the all-in plaque in front of Chua. With about 150,000 in the middle, Kempson had about that much still behind – certainly not a small stack that needed to take a risk, but as the minutes ticked by, Kempson appeared to be inching closer and closer to calling.
“I’m pretty light,” sighed Kempson as the crowd started to build around the table with the action paused on all other tables entering hand-for-hand play.
“Is it the dry bubble?” asked Kempson, and indeed it was confirmed if Kempson called and was wrong, he would go home empty-handed while everyone else would be $3,100 wealthier.
Another five minutes ticked by and finally Kempson reached for two red 500-denomination chips.
He held them out in front of him, hovered and paused for dramatic affect.
Then he dropped the chips in the middle.
Chua cringed and showed 
for a busted straight draw as Kempson slammed his 
down on to the felt triumphantly and celebrated with his rail.
“Three streets! On the dry bubble!” yelled Kempson in delight as he doubled to 450,000.
The bubble continues!

Liam O’Rourke has just been eliminated two spots off the money.
He got coolered too.
We missed the action, but apparently O’Rourke had 
and hit a set of deuces. O’Rourke check-raised the flop against Joe Reina and an 
fell on the turn. All the chips went in here and unfortunately for O’Rourke, Reina had pocket eights and had made a set of eights!
With that we are now on the bubble!
Play is hand-for-hand.

Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang’s tumultuous day has come to an end!
Huang’s final hand saw him open the button to 7,000 with 
. Chip leader Vincent Chua then three bet to 17,000 and it was back on Huang, who moved all in for 105,000. Chua snapped it off with 
and with no help on the board, Huang was eliminated.
Huang was up to a high of 315,000 at one point in the day. That’s poker.
Chua is now up to 500,000.
