and Chartier continued for 47,000, Vogelsang called. The 
turn was a staring contest between the duo and Chartier eventually check-folded to a bet of 60,000 by Vogelsang.

Sasha Salinger decided to have some fun and ask some players at EPT Dublin to sum up their strategy on the money bubble of a tournament into just one word.
There was no further hand in the last five minutes of the level and the remaining 27 players, who are all in the money, were sent into a 75-minute dinner break.
With eight minutes left on the clock for the current level, a five-way limped pot would see the bubble burst. Jerry Odeen bet the 
flop for 15,000 and just Vladas Kamasauskas called from one seat over. The 
on the turn saw the Swede continue for 33,000 and again Tamasauskas called, slowly cutting out the call from his stack of T-1,000 chips.
On the 
river, Odeen wasted little time before announcing all in and Tamasauskas was sent into the think tank. He took a sip of his water, apologized for taking so long and stood up to study the board. Another minute passed and he ultimately announced the call.
Odeen turned over the 
and Tamasauskas was trying to muck his cards, declaring the defeat. The dealer turned over his cards since it was an all in showdown and the Lithuanian had called with the inferior 
to exit in 28th place on the stone cold bubble.
Arne Coulier, who has won his seat for the event through a Live Satellite and picked up some chips from Dominik Nitsche recently, just made a mode that backfired heavily. Coulier opened, Felix Bleiker missclicked and min-three-bet before the Belgian four-bet shoved. Bleiker called for 257,500 and was put at risk on the bubble.
Bleiker: 
Coulier: 
On the 
flop, Coulier was demanding the 
whereas Bleiker smiled over with an "I take the ace." Neither the turn nor the 
river changed anything and Coulier was cut down considerably.
The first all in and call on the bubble of the High Roller was between Ibrahim Ghassan and Jason Mercier.
Ghassan held and had three-bet Jason Mercier's open of 12,000, with the Team PokerStars Pro holding 
The board ran out 
and Ghassan doubled to around 75,000
"What am I doing with 29 left?" Pierre Neuville said after having just been eliminated two spots off the money. The Belgian had three-bet jammed out of the big blind for what looked like 120,000. Initial raiser William Arruda called and it was a big flip once again.
Neuville: 
Arruda: 
The flop 
gave Arruda the nut straight and it was all over after the turn, making the 
river a formality. Only 28 players remain with the top 27 spots getting paid, the tables will now continue in hand for hand mode.
