Adam Jacobs Eliminated in 19th

Ravi Raghavan raised to 15,000 under the gun and Adam Jacobs called from the big blind. The flop came {4-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and both players checked. The {4-Hearts} hit the turn and Jacobs checked to Raghavan who bet 18,000. Jacobs called and the {4-Spades} fell on the river. Again, Jacobs checked and this time Raghavan moved all in. Jacobs thought for a moment and then called all in. Ravi showed {Q-Spades} {9-Diamonds} for the full house and Jacobs mucked.

Adam Jacobs bubbled in 19th place while Ravi Raghavan moves to 250,000.

Break Time

The remaining 19 players are racing off all the black 100 chips and then will go on a 15 minute break. It'll still be hand for hand when they get back.

Domenico Caprara Doubles Up

Domenico Caprara opened to 13,000 and Adam Jacobs called from the small blind. Ravi Raghavan then reraised to 41,500 from the big blind, which only Caprara called. The flop came {10-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} and Raghavan said "all in." Caprara snap-called and showed {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}, leading Ravi's {6-Hearts} {6-Spades}.

The turn and river were blanks for Ravi as Domenico Caprara now has 240,000. Raghavan stumbles down to 140,000.

Tight Play

Steve Billirakis raises to 13,500 preflop and retired NBA journeyman Ken Norman thinks for several minutes before finally folding {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} face up. Anywhere but the bubble, he might have played that hand differently.

Ken Norman Doubles Up

Jason DeWitt raised from the button and Ken Norman moved all in from the big blind. It was 45,400 for Jason to call, and he did with {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} against Norman's {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}. Norman did not like the call by DeWitt, which put his tournament at risk on the bubble. However, the board rolled out {2-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {Q-Spades} and Norman doubled up to about 100,000.
