Good Day to be the Bubble

We actually had two players bust out on the bubble today, which means that they will actually split the prize awarded to 270th place.

The first elimination that was reported was of David Pointer who moved all-in from the small blind with pocket aces and was called by a player in the cutoff who held {6-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. Pointer's opponent flopped an open-ended straight draw which connected on the river and eliminated Pointer on the bubble.

The second elimination was of Dove Byrne, who was all-in in the small blind for just 300 and was called by Jeff Kent. Kent held pocket twos and Byrne held J-6. Byrne failed to hit a pair by the river and was eliminated from today's event.
