Timothy Cherep raised from the small blind to 39,500 before Mikael Rosen moved all in from the big blind for 107,500. Holley couldn't have found a better spot to get the most bang for his buck.

The turn brought the , setting up Lindberg. The tournament announcer stated that Green was now drawing dead, but the players at the table were quick to correct him and state that a six could come on the river to make Green a straight. The river was just that, the 
, and Green hit his gutter ball. Lindberg was sent home in 38th place while Green bumped himself up in chips and now has 240,000.

Ogura Claims Bubble Glory
Takashi Ogura was all in with the versus the two red tens for Mikhail Mazunin.

The flop came down 
and Ogura picked up a straight draw along with his two overs. The turn was the
