Level 19 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Bubble Boy Andras Nemeth
Bubble Boy Andras Nemeth

The action kicked off with a raise to 88,000 by Mike "SirWatts" Watson and Andras "probirs" Nemeth then moved all in for 907,958 in the small blind. Rodrigo "Seijistar" Seiji was in the big blind and reshoved for more than 2.1 million, which sent Watson in a brief period of consideration.

Watson then called all-in for 1,050,056 and was the second-biggest stack in the showdown.

Andras "probirs" Nemeth: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Mike "SirWatts" Watson: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Rodrigo "Seijistar" Seiji: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

On a board of {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, Nemeth only found one jack and was eliminated as the bubble boy whereas Watson became the first player to cash. He had not collected any bounty prize and took home the cash prize of $13,250. All remaining 10 players are now done for the night and return as of 1.05 p.m. EST.
