Bubble Remains in Tact

There haven't been many updates of late, but for a reason: there haven't been many hands to update you on, the combination of TV cameras, crowd, and online qualifiers eager to evade the splash of the bubble making this second, perhaps, only to the WSOP Main Event in terms of how long it takes to complete a hand.

One lady who was all in, however, was Fiona Craig, her stack having whittled down to just 2,000 as she looked to creep into the money. So, when she went in before the big blind had reached her, it was of no surprise to see her turn over aces.

The man looking to please himself and the 72 other players remaining was Anders Rasmussen, his snowmen in search of a third eight to bust the bullets.

But alas, the {A-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop was rather decisive, and by the {J-Diamonds} turn it was all over, despite the academic {8-Diamonds} hitting the river.
