Oh Mickey!

Each elimination becomes more painful the closer we get to the money. With less than one table remaining until the bubble bursts, Mickey Appleman went out. It took a few hands. The killer hand was on a board of {10-Spades} {9-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts}, with Appleman calling bets on the turn and river to be shown his opponent's full house, {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}.

That loss crippled Appleman to 3,000. After getting a few chips back in a six-way pot, Appleman was eliminated by Jason Riesenberg in a three-way pot. Risenberg showed down {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}, a scooper of a hand that nicely matched a board of {A-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {8-Spades} {5-Hearts}.

Riesenberg is up to 80,000.
