Big stack Niklas "Lena900" Astedt raised to 110,000 from under the gun before fellow Swedish legend Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson raised all-in for 339,787 from the small blind. "[Removed:591]" then rejammed from the big blind and Astedt folded.

"[Removed:591]": AJ

Mattsson paired his queen on 532Q and faded the chop on the 7 river, securing his double-up.

Padilha Unable to Work Miracles with the "Doyle"

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante
Padilha Unable to Work Miracles with the "Doyle"
Padilha Unable to Work Miracles with the "Doyle"

Pedro "PaDiLhA SP" Padilha had less than an ante left and thus was automatically all-in with the cards dealt to him on the button. Thorsten "juicetus" Legit then limped in from the cutoff, Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv completed the small blind, and Mark "AceSpades11" Radoja checked from the big blind.

The trio then checked through the 579 flop, as well as the Q turn. On the 7 river, it was Radoja who bet out 75,000 chips and both of his opponents folded.

Radoja then tabled K10 for the king-high flush, and it was enough to beat the 102 of Padilha, who was eliminated with the lower flush.

Been Binks a Post-Bubble Double-Up, First People Cash Out

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Aaron "AaronBeen" Been jammed his 198,883 remaining chips in the middle from middle position and received a call from "SerVlaMin" in the hijack.

Aaron "AaronBeen" Been: AJ
SerVlaMin: A8

Been's jack kicker would remain in play on 3K4QK and he doubled up. Meanwhile, the first few casualties have fallen after the bubble and they all received the min-cash in their PokerStars account.

"nikolai4o0o0" Bubbles the $10,300 WCOOP Main Event

"P0KERPR02.0" raised to 80,000 from the hijack and the absolute short-stack of the field "nikolai4o0o0" went all-in for 95,162 from the cutoff. PokerStars Ambassador Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes joined in from the small blind, and "P0KERPR02.0" put in the extra chips as well.

The two players who still had action then checked through the 105Q flop before Moraes bet 190,053 on the 6 turn, forcing "P0KERPR02.0" out of the pot.

"nikolai4o0o0": AK
Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes: 1010

"nikolai4o0o0"s only hope was a jack on the river, but the 7 came instead, resulting in the Bulgarian player to be the last to be eliminated before securing the min-cash of $21,342.

Cochrane Catches Pardo's Bluff at Crucial Time

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Juan "Malaka$tyle" Pardo raised to 80,000 from middle position and only Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane made the call from the big blind. Cochrane then check-called Pardo's 66,000 bet on 87A, as well as the 176,000 bet on the 10 turn.

The Q river then completed the board and Cochrane checked for a third time. With only 263,789 chips in Cochrane's stack, Pardo jammed all in and sent Cochrane into the tank. With just a few seconds left in the time bank, Cochrane made the call and Pardo was forced to show his 33.

Meanwhile, Cochrane rivered a mediocre queen with his Q6 and hero-called for his final few chips with the min-cash in sight. This time, he was right, and he doubled up at a crucial stage of the tournament.

Beresford Busts Before the Money
Beresford Busts Before the Money

"Sralando" opened the action with a raise to 88,00 from middle position before being faced with a three-bet from Kayhan "KayhanMok" Mokri in the cutoff to 260,000. Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford was sitting in the big blind and cold four-bet jammed for 662,639 chips.

"Sralando" made the call, which forced Mokri out of the pot.

Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford: QQ
"Sralando": AK

The most classic of flips, and this time it would be "Sralando" that won the pot, when he made the better full house on 66AK6, leaving Beresford to dream of winning the WCOOP Main Event another year.
