Nick Polydoros Eliminated in 82nd Place - Bubble Boy

Nick Polydoros was all in for 800 in the big blind. One of Polydoros's friends came by who was also short stacked and said, "I hope we both make the money." Both had a good laugh while action continued. Spencer Lawrence raised and everyone else at the table folded.

Polydoros: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Lawrence: {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Board: {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Lawrence knocks out Polydros with a flush and Polydoros is today's bubble boy. Now everyone is in the money.

One More to Go...!

We're now officially on the bubble with the next eliminated player to go home empty-handed while the remaining 81 jubilant players will be guaranteed at least $2,728 for their efforts in this event.

Art Mirrow Survives

Art Mirrow only had 300 left after being in the big blind ate up most of his stack, but amazingly he managed to triple up against two opponents.

His two opponents checked down a board of {J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Andrew Micali could only show {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a pair of nines which was not enough to better Mirrow's {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} as Mirrow triples up to 4,700 chips!

Jac Arama Rebounds on Bubble

Jac Arama is making a huge comeback around the bubble. At one stage Arama was down to under 2,000 in chips but he now sits comfortably with about 20,000.

In a recent pot he had the last of his chips in the middle on a board of {8-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and showed {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} to scoop with the nut low and trips for the high.

Aggression on the bubble is paying dividens for Arama.
