Double Bust on Bubble as Azuaje and Garde Hit the Rail
The room was vibrant with buzzing players, media and floor staff who were trying to navigate the sparce space between the tables to oversee three simulataneous all in and calls, two of which resulted in bustouts.
On Table 26, Scotti Azuaje open-raised from the cutoff and Arnaud Bodar moved all in from the button for 128,000. The small blind reported that he folded pocket jacks before Azuaje made the call for around 90,000. Players flipped their cards and Azuaje was at risk.
Scotti Azuaje: K♥K♦ 
Arnaud Bodar: A♥Q♥
The flop ran out 5♥4♦2♥ and the room erupted with "oohhs" and "ahhs" as Bodar picked up a flush draw. The turn was a blank, the 5♣, but the river came the 4♥ to complete Bodar's flush. Lots of cheers rang out as the bubble burst, but there was still two more hands to run.
Over on Table 20, action was paused on the river on a board of 7♦2♠3♥2♦K♠ and Samy Khaled had led out for 205,000, putting his opponent all in. Noel Garde called for 200,000 and, when the time came, players revealed their hands.
Khaled had K♣J♦ for a rivered pair of kings. Garde flipped over 10♦10♣ and his hand was beat.
While Garde and Azuaje were eliminated, Marc Uzan opened from the button, and Alberto Lopez moved all-in from the big blind. Uzan called off his last 137,000.
Marc Uzan: A♠Q♠
Alberto Lopez: 8♠8♥
The A♥ door card came on a K♦6♠A♥J♦6♣ board, giving Uzan two pair and securing him a double up.
Both Garde and Azuaje bust out on the bubble, meaning 204 players from Day 1c have made the money, bagging and tagging for Day 2.
