Longest EPT Bubble Ever?

I just asked tournament directors Thomas Kremser and Steve Frezer if this is the longest bubble either of them had experienced on the EPT.

"Nah, there was a two-leveler in Dublin," said Frezer. "But it's close."

The two also shared an anecdote about Freddy Deeb -- who said that he'd pay the bubble 30,000 Euros if they could just get on with it and move into the money... but only if he WON the whole thing, of course.

We've now passed the two-hour mark of bubble time...
