Niall Farrell is crushing the bubble.
He's min-raised seven out of the past ten hands and the players at his table have simply laid down to him.
On the bubble now, Farrell has picked up an additional 20,000 in the past few minutes without much of a sweat.
The screens show 127 players left and the dealers have been asked to freeze their action, as hand-for-hand mode will commence once all current hands are completed.
The following players busted before the bubble:
Oliver Gill took a coin flip close to the money with 
against the 
of Travis Rawlins and the latter had two over cards as well as a gutshot straight draw after a queen-high flop. The 
river made the straight and Gill headed to the rail. Rawlins is among a few other players that are close to a quarter million in chips.
It was a four-bet to 48,000 and Wayne Brindley stuck around against Ferenc Riech to see a heads-up flop of 
with two spades. Both players checked and then Brindley check-called a bet worth 9,600 on the 
turn. On the 
river, Brindley check-called 40,000 with just the 
but that was good enough to rake in the massive pot.
In the first level of play, Gerald Karlic four-bet jammed for 57,900 with 
and cracked the pocket aces of Jessica Liang. The trend of both players continued in the same direction as Karlic ran good and Liang was forced to play very careful with her short stack. Close to the bubble, Liang is down to a mere few blinds while Karlic is thriving.
After the hand was over, two players claimed they had folded pocket fives respectively pocket threes. Russell Thomas moved all in for 19,500 with the 
and was called by an opponent with 
. The board came 
and Thomas doubled.
Only 131 players remain and the top 126 spots will get paid. Below are a few further assorted chip counts.
Level: 15
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 500
With Day 2's first two levels behind them, the remaining players are taking a 15-minute break with the money bubble ready to pop once they return.
