Adam Adler Eliminated

Adam Adler pushed all in on a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and got called by Gary Myers. Adler showed pocket nines for a set, but trailed Myers who had flopped a straight with {J-?} {10-?} .

A ten on the turn and an eight on the river failed to help Adler, and he left shortly before the bubble.

We're On the Bubble

With 172 players remaining, we're hand-for-hand until we lose one more player and reach the money. Once we reach 171 players, everyone in the field is guaranteed at least $4,010.

Rheem Rivers Paris

Broadway baby!
Broadway baby!
David 'Chino' Rheem opened from middle position to 4,600, and with it folding round to Bryan Paris in the small blind he bumped it to 12,300 total.

Rheem made the call and both players checked it down to the river with the board reading {4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

Paris led out for 17,000 to put Rheem to a decision, and after checking and re-checking his cards Rheem pushed in the chips to call while announcing all in.

Paris thought that Rheem had announced call and tabled his {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, however once informed by the table and dealer of the scenario, he turned his cards back over and was put to a decision for a further 35,200.

Rheem stood up and started pacing round the table, "he's got me beat, but he can't call, he can't call".

A further minute went by before Paris eventually made the call, only see Rheem roll over his {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the nuts and the double through to 131,000 and change.

The Bubble has Burst

Phil Sparta
Phil Sparta
We lost two players on the same hand and are now in the money.

One of the bust outs came at the hands of chip leader Phil Sparta who took out Balazs Botond after Botond moved all in preflop with {K-?} {Q-?} .

Sparta called with aces and when the board ran out {9-?} {10-?} {3-?} {6-?} {Q-?}, Botond couldn't catch up. Sparta now has 360,000.

Alex Santiago Eliminated

Jamie Roberts raised to 4,600 and action checked to Alex Santiago who re-raised to 15,000. Roberts then moved all in, and Santiago called for less.

Roberts: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Santiago: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

When the cards came {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Spades}, Santiago couldn't catch up and left the tournament with $4,010.

Nina Tovish Sent to the Rail

Nina Tovish check-called her stack into the middle after Brandon Myers bet 45,100 on a flop of {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Tovish showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} but found herself well behind Myers' {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}. When the last two cards came {3-Diamonds} and {2-Hearts}, Tovish made her way to the rail.
