Sam Li doubles through

Former Blackjack specialist turned Poker Pro Sam Le makes a move from the button with the {6-Spades}{7-Spades}, and is called by the BB with {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. The flop brings the {J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. The Turn card is the {5-Diamonds}, giving Nathan Rothschild a straight draw, but there is no help from the River {A-Clubs} and Nathan is crippled.

and it speeds up

3 players go down on the first two hands after the bubble.
I have also promised to make certain "kinder/gentler" reports, therefore I will report that of the remaining 42 players--three are ladies.

We're back and the bubble has burst!

First hand back from the break and the bubble has burst.

Kerrigan Fellows, holding a short stack finds {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and moves it all in. Eddie Eres on the button calls with {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. The flop comes {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and no help from the Turn or River means that Kerry is the first player to finish on the bubble for the 2007 Aussie Millions - and all remaining players are in the money.

45 players remaining and the action will now pick up as the short stacks who were ladder climbing into the cash will now go crazy and attempt to double up.

Places 37 to 45 pay $2,060.
