Zharfati and Imani Both Bubble

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Rob Saladin

On the first table, Sharon Zharfati was all-in for his last 55,000 from under the gun and called by Tyler Gibson in the big blind.

Sharon Zharfati: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Tyler Gibson: {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{x-} for Gibson to hit the pair of aces on the flop to send Zharfati out of the tournament. He was told to wait as there was another all-in at another table.

Colin Imani was all-in for 275,000 with {j-Spades}{10-Spades} on the {2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades} board and was called and covered by Rob Saladin who held {a-Spades}{8-Spades}.

The turn brought them the {k-Spades} for both of them to hit the flush but for Saladin to have the nut flush.

The river completed the board with the {10-Diamonds} as a formality.

Both Zharfati and Imani were told to wait while the tournament staff counted to see how many players were left. Once all the counting was done, it was determined that there were 110 players left and both players were sent away from the tournament area without any money.

Action Table 1

Level 20 : 8,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Ting Zhou

The all-ins and calls have been sounding at Table 1 for the last hour and players keep doubling up but now David Finley shoved for his last 75,000 from the cutoff and was called by Kevin Mcgee in the big blind.

David Finley: {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Kevin Mcgee: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts} for Mcgee to improve to a wheel to eliminate Finley.

Two hands later, Carlos Figueroa pushed his last 82,000 in from the middle position and was called by Ting Zhou in the big blind.

Carlos Figueroa: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Ting Zhou: {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for Figueroa to hold and double up.

But a few hands later his chips went in at one point on the {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} board against Zhou who won this time as she held {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the wheel while he had {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for two pair.
