Jozef Berec and Tino Lechich Eliminated, Share 30th Place Money ($1,439)

[user25067]

We're officially in the money after losing two players on the same hand.

Tino Lechich moved all in with the {K-Diamonds}

, but John Caldwell woke up to {K-Hearts}

and quickly made the call. The flop was {A-Hearts}

, the turn was the {4-Diamonds}

, the river was the {6-Spades}

, and Lechich appeared to be our bubble boy-- but there was still action going on at an adjacent table.

Jozef Berec had moved all in with K-Q and got a call from Simon Cleal with J-J. Cleal flopped a set of jacks and Berec couldn't hit running cards to improve.

So who's the bubble boy?

Since both players were eliminated on the same hand, they'll split 30th place money, each receiving $719.50. The remaining 29 players are all guaranteed at least $1,439 for their efforts tonight.
