Tyler Boyer

Level 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The small blind Manuel Pochat was all in for roughly 2,500,000, and the big blind Vladas Tamasauskas putting him at risk, on the stone bubble.

Manuel Pochat: A♥K♥ All in
Vladas Tamasauskas: K♦K♣

It was a massive cooler blind on blind, and Pochat would need to find an ace to avoid being the bubble boy. But he couldn't find any help on the 7♦5♥2♠5♦3♥ runout, giving the pot Tamasauskas, eliminating, Pochat, and bursting the bubble.

At a nearby table Kristen Foxen was all in and at risk as well, but her pocket aces held for the double up.
