The Ends of the Spectrum; The End of the Bubble

[user127999]

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The bubble has now popped but not before Jeff Wells crushed it, moving into chip lead position.

Mike Steinhauser looked to be the shortest stack in the room, but held on to a less-than-ten big blind stack to guarantee at least a min-cash when the bubble popped at another table.

Timothy Andruschat was the unlucky player to say goodbye 28th, running pocket kings into Rick Block's weak ace. He became the bubble boy when Block spiked an ace, and as they redraw for seats at the final three nine-handed tables, Block has moved up the leader board significantly.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jeff Wells	525,000 215,000	215,000
Rick Block	400,000 140,000	140,000

Johnson Leads; Burkett Busts; Break

[user127999]

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

A huge three-way all in pot just vaulted Thomas Mader to a spot near the top of the counts, cut Jeff Kandefer down to size, and sent Jim Burkett out 27th.

Mader got it in on the flop with a set of nines, Kandefer had a set of jacks and Burkett an open-ended straight flush draw.

Burkett shipped the turn that made Mader quads and Kandefer a boat, straightening out on the river that was too little too late.

In the meantime, Charles Johnson has been hit by the deck, spiking a set of kings against aces, and holding with a pair of pairs to crest the 550,000 mark.

They head into a 10-minute break now with 26 remaining.
