The money bubble is rapidly approaching and we just got a little closer after Erik van den Berg was eliminated. Thomas Julian-Simon raised to 7,000 from the cutoff after which Van den Berg moved all in for 65,300 from the button. Alejandro Federico De Arruabarrena was seated in the small blind and he made the call. The action was back on Julian-Simon who decided to move all in. De Arruabarrena had to make a decision for 120,600 total which was just 2,000 less than what he had in front of him. Eventually he made the call creating a big three-way all in.

Theo Jorgensen flopped almost as good as he could have done in the hand that he bust Ari Barer, and was very fortunate to do so.
Barer opened to 6,000 and then four-bet to 30,800 after the Team Pro three-bet to 15,000. Jorgensen called to see the 
flop where he raised Barer's 23,900 c-bet up to 50,000. Barer shoved for 120,000 and Jorgensen called quickly.
