Selman Eliminated
Level 18
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
During round for round play, Matthew Selman was involved in a big hand where he three-bet preflop while holding 
. His opponent shipped into him and he snap called. His opponent tabled 
and Selman was ahead by quite a bit.
The flop came down 
and Selman held his lead. The 
struck the turn and gave his opponent a few more outs. Unfortunately for Selman, the 
hit the river, giving his opponent trip sevens and a winning hand. This hand crippled Selman, and once the money bubble burst, he moved his stack in with 
. He was called by an opponent's 
and failed to improve.
The Bubble Has Burst
Level 18
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
A unique system was used at this stop, instead of hand-for-hand the tournament director had the field play round-for-round due to short handed tables. We had one player, Jeremy Drewery, that provided both knockouts.
The first one was a four-way pot with one very short-stacked player. Scott Weinberg only had 10,500 and the opening raise was 15,000. The active players checked it down and the board read 
. Weinberg tabled 
and Drewery held 
.
The next hand saw Drewery and Chris Bolek get it all in preflop. Bolek held and Drewery had 
. The board ran 
and Bolek was eliminated.
Weinberg and Bolek will split the 36th place payout.

. The river was a blank and an exasperated Parsons left the table after counting out the call.

Petersen's Nut Flush Takes It
We caught up with the action to find the board reading 
. Joe Phelps and another player checked to Jacob Petersen who bet out 12,000. Both Phelps and the other player made the call.
The river brought the . Phelps and his opponent checked once again and Petersen continued his aggression, betting 45,000. Phelps quickly made the call and the final player went into the tank for about a minute before mucking his hand. Petersen flipped up 
for the ace-high flush and Phelps could only shake his head.
"That's so sick," said Phelps as he threw his hand at the muck. Petersen scooped up his pot with a smile on his face.
