We’ve just had our first at-risk player during hand-for-hand play!
And no, the bubble did not burst.
Jacque Ramsden was all in for just a couple of big blinds with 
and was up against 
.
The board ran out 
and Ramsden was safe.
Back to the bubble we go.
Ben Williams has just finished as the bubble boy!
Williams held 
in early position when he moved all in for 12,000. One player made a call with 
and when the board ran out 
, it was all over for Williams with no cash for his time.
The 54 remaining players have now locked up $3,650.

We have just lost our first in-the-money player and happened during the same hand that Ben Williams was eliminated as the bubble boy.
Emanuel "Curly" Seal was the player to go home in 54th place.
He got his remaining stack of around 40,000 in the middle on a 
flop holding 
and had ran into the 
of Daniel Neilson.
The 
turn and the river didn’t help Seal and so he was sent home with some cash for his time.
Level: 16
Blinds: 2,500/5,000
Ante: 500

Jazz Mathers was notorious for making a big call with ace-high on Day 1a and has now made another solid call to continue adding chips to his big stack.
We picked up the action on the river of a 
river, with around 80,000 already in the pot and with Jie Gao, Mathers and Anthony Aston involved in the pot. Gao was first to act and led for 30,000. Aston folded and Mathers made an instant call and tabled just 
.
Gao sheepishly showed and the pot went to Mathers.
Mathers is up to just under 500,0000.

Adrian Attenborough was one of the short stacks during hand-for-hand play but has now managed to run his stack up to around 250,000. Attenborough took a nice pot off Oliver Gill on a 
board. Gill had opened under the gun and Attenborough flatted from the button. On the flop, Gill check-called a bet, while he led for 20,000 on the turn. On the river, Attenborough bet 38,000 when Gill checked. Gill tank folded.
"Thin-value betting slightly better than my hand," Gill said as Attenborough scooped the chips.

Three more players have been eliminated, while Alex Lee is looking more and more likely to finish as the end-of-day leader.
Firstly we had Matthew Burke eliminated in 40th place and Luke Brabin in 39th. Then Karl Spiegel would go home in 38th. Most of Spiegel's chips went to Lee in a massive pot which saw Lee holding 
on a 
board. We didn't see what Spiegel had, but it's safe to say it wasn't anywhere near as strong as Lee's Broadway straight. Speigel would go on to lose the rest of his chips a couple of hands later.
Lee is up to a monster 775,000 in chips.
