Not still on the bubble, that is. While nearly everyone was off enjoying their break, the bubble has burst.
Mads Amot was first into the pot from the button, and he opened to 9,000. Small blind Eli Heath three-bet to 23,500, and Amot shoved all in for 111,000 on a four-bet. Heath called with the covering stack, and the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Amot: 
Heath: 
Amot seemed pleased enough that he had live cards to draw to, but he was unable to catch up. The board ran out 
, and that's the end of Amot's day. He's out on the direct bubble in 105th place, and the rest of the field is in the money. The announcement was made over the microphone, but there wasn't even anyone around to celebrate.

The players are now on a 20-minute break. And yes, we're still on the bubble.
Under the gun, Dennis Bejedal raised to 8,000 to open the pot, and Patrick Renkers three-bet to 18,500 in position. When it came back to Bejedal, he shoved all in over the top, and Renkers was put to the test for his last 204,000 chips. He made the call, and there was a long pause while we waited for the rest of the tables to finish up.
Showdown
Bejedal:
Renkers: 
Things went smoothly for Renkers on board, and the dealer gave him a double with a 
board.

We were trying to sort out who the 106th-place finisher was, and we think we may have done it. Dominik Nitsche's chair is vacant, and we could see neither hide nor hair nor hoodie.
A quick ask around confirms. Nitsche ran ace-jack into pocket kings, and that's that. It was a days-long battle with the short stack for the German, and his run at a payday has come up unfortunately short.

The board shows 105 players left, and we're squarely on the money bubble. The next player knocked out goes home with nothing but the proverbial wooden spoon.
