Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Alicia LaPorte Pachla just busted on the bubble getting the last of her increasingly short stack in with top pair on the flop.

The Short Stack Shuffle
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
The tournament staff has cut hand-for-hand short deciding to simply let the players play it out.
In the meantime, a few of the shorter stacks have managed to double up and stay alive.
First, Alex Visbisky shipped it in for 73,000 facing a Johhny Vegas open that Michael Milewski called. Vegas re-shoved, Milewski folded and Visbisky needed help with 
against Vegas' queens. He got some with an ace on the flop.
A few hands later, Keith Macomber shoved his last 26,000 into Jerry Calvaneso's big blind and Calvaneso called without looking. Turned out he was way ahead with 
versus Macomber's 
, but a ten on the turn brought the double for Macomber.
Hand-For-Hand
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Hand-For-Hand play continues at a snail's pace here with no one really wanting to be the official bubble, despite the fact the players have already pooled together some cash to pay the next person out.
