B.B.B

MarcC

Billy Baxter busted a little while before this unscheduled break and he fell to none other than JC Tran. Baxter had {A-?}

but he couldn't hit and Tran's {9-?}

held up.

Tran up to 170,000 now.

There are now 624 players remaining, the reason for the break was to count how many were left. We're going to restart with 4 minutes left of this level. $1,894 minimum will be soon greeting all who remain except three players...

Nothing Just Yet...

[user76023]

They've played the first hand and no-one has busted.

We continue...

One Down, Two to Go

MarcC

Every table has played two hands now and we've only lost one player. Niberson Dorleus' {A-Hearts}

couldn't catch up against a player's {J-Hearts}

.

MarcC

One more hand for each table, one more player lost.

Double Bubble

[user76023]

On the fourth hand of hand-for-hand, we saw two exits. The first was Jeff Greco who called a reraise all-in on a {7-?}

board with {8-?}

against the big stack's {10-?}

. The latter hitting running {10-?}

's to house up.

On the other side of the room, there was a push for about 9,000 with {K-?}

by Petr Kadavy over the top of a 2,300 raise from Jonathan Aguiar holding {A-?}

. A call and a board of {A-?}

X meant that we had a split bubble.

The two players split the 621st money prize of $1,894, meaning both get $947 - $53 less than they paid to enter the event.

"Don't bluff sir"

MarcC

A short stacked player raised half his stack from UTG and JC Tran called from two seats along. Everyone else folded and when the flop was about to come down {2-Hearts}

Tran said to his opponent "Don't bluff sir".

UTG checked and Tran bet an amount to commit the player if he called. He folded though and Tran tabled {A-?}

with a big smile on his face.

A Change of Tack

MarcC

The bubble bursting has certainly changed the pace of play. All-in showdowns are happening all over the room and the range players are willing to commit with has widened greatly. Ace-nine popped up twice that I could see and you wouldn't of seen a hand like that turned up thirty minutes ago.
