Puetz & Ladva Bubble the Main Event

The remaining 34 players are all in the money, following two simultaneous eliminations.

First, Artur Martirosian raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and Christopher Puetz jammed for 590,000 out of the big blind. Martirosian snap-called.

Christopher Puetz: K♥Q♥ All in
Artur Martirosian: A♠K♠

Puetz needed to find a queen or he would be leaving the tournament empty-handed. The runout of K♦6♥6♣4♣10♠ gave both players a pair of kings, but Martirosian's ace-kicker played, and Puetz was out.

At another table, Manuel Fritz opened from middle position and Ottomar Ladva jammed for around 1,200,000 from the button. Once the blinds folded, Fritz called to put Ladva at risk.

Ottomar Ladva: A♣K♦ All in
Manuel Fritz: Q♠Q♦

With the crowd around the table, the dealer put out a flop of 3♥2♥J♠, keeping the Ladies of Fritz in the lead. Ladva was unable to find any help on the J♥ turn or Q♣ river as Fritz improved to a boat.

Ladva joined Puetz on the rail, and the remaining players had all locked up at least $43,000.
