Rajiv Khanna was our bubble player this evening. Khanna committed the last of his chips to the pot with K-J, but ran into an opponent's A-K.
A couple of short-stacks throughout the field were especially happy with the timely bustout. Alexandra Vuong was down to her last 1,500 chips, while Daran Norris had just 800 behind, after posting the 500 small blind.
There are 73 players remaining in the field. The next elimination will put all remaining players in the money.

Bonnie has right around 35,000 chips and with 1 player left to the money, she's practically a shoe-in to get paid today.
Ali Eslami's Chip Castle
Ali Eslami had built himself a very intricate castle made of poker chips; literally. He left himself about 5,000 in excess to use for betting purposes, but has since been forced to break down some of the walls of his castle, as he's starting to lose some chips.
He's currently sitting on 23,000 chips after losing a decent sized pot and has demolished his castle, restacking his chips the traditional way.
