You know the drill, the feature table live stream will provide the necessary information in about half an hour from now on. In real time, the field has been reduced to 47 players and there are about 22 minutes left in the current level. If the bubble (46 left) is reached prior to the end, play resumes and then goes into the dinner break when the money is reached.
Spoken too soon. Only two minutes after the previous post, Johnny Anderson shoved for less than 15 big blinds from early position and was called by David Hefner from one seat over. Anderson held the 
and Hefner the 
, some groans emerged on the 
flop.
However, the 
on the turn changed things back as they were preflop and the 
river bricked. Hand for hand mode is now enabled with around 20 minutes left on the clock for level 16.

Herman Hjelm opened to 25,000 from the button and Mehmet Ongorur three-bet to 65,000. Hjelm tanked for a long time and the one minute of consideration was called on him. With 10 seconds to go, the Swede shoved and Ongorur called it off.
Hjelm: 
Ongorur: 
The board ran out 
to counterfit the hand of the Swede and the bubble had burst in cruel fashion.

There was a bad beat story on the feature table that you can see around 20:15 local time due to the security delay and then Koen Lahousse was also sent to the rail in a hand against Zsombor Gall. The Belgian called a min-raise of Gall out of the big blind and check-called a bet on the 
flop before check-raising the 
turn for 140,000. Call!
Gall: 
Lahousse: 
The 
river was a blank and the Belgian headed to the payout desk.

In a battle of the super short stacks, Matyas Csiszar and Jussi Heikels clashed with the Hungarian at risk for 71,000 chips.
Heikels:
Csiszar: 
The 
flop improve the hand of the Finn and the turn and river changed nothing whatsoever. Once the stacks were counted, Heikels had his opponent covered by just about one big blind.

In real time the bubble is already burst, however Cristian Cirtog was on the feature table and just now hit the rail. It was somewhat unfortunate for the Romanian to find 
, as Florian Ferroni had been running like god on the feature table and sure enough picked up the in the very same spot as well.
The board ran out 
and that ended Cirtog's tournament just shy of the money.

It is now certain that there will be a new Unibet Open champion.
David Hefner had raised and was called by Anders Claren in the big blind. On the flop, Claren check-raised all in after Hefner had made a continuation bet worth 23,000 and was snap-called.
Hefner:
Claren:
Both had hit top pair with a gutshot and the turn completed the straight for Hefner while his fellow countryman now needed a ten or seven to stay in the tournament. It was the 
river that ended his run in 41st place though and another seat open occurred at the very same time only a few meters away.
Quentin Lecomte open-shoved from the button for what looked like 140,000 over on table 2 and Jussi Heikels from one seat over moved all in himself for slightly more chips. The player in the big blind got out of the way and they tabled their cards:
Heikels: 
Lecomte: 
The Finn improved on the river of a 
board and that was also the last action of level 16.

After it was all over, Ian Simpson still smiled and wished his opponents good luck before heading to the cashier and then registering straight for the High Roller Event. The minimum cash of €2,210 covers exactly that buy in. What had happened on the feature table?
The Brit was all in and at risk with the and Giuseppe Leone looked him up with the . The board ran out 
and the final community card sent the 2013 Irish Open champion to the rail as first in the money.
