One Down, Two to Go
The board read 
when Jason Elzinga moved all in for his remaining 14,000 chips. Amnon Fillippi cut out enough chips to make the call and riffled them for a moment or two before sending them in the middle.
Elzinga opened 
for just a draw, and Fillippi turned over 
for a leading pair of tens.
The 
river bricked for Elzinga, and he was eliminated in 273rd place. After raking in the pot, Fillippi now sits with 90,000 chips.

Et tu, Brute?
Aces vs. kings is never fun, especially on the bubble and and especially when aces are cracked.
Just ask Ryan Julius.
When arrived at the table the damage had already been done and the majority of Julius' chips were being sent to his neighbor Jeff "YoungSupremacy" Hakim. Here's what the board looked like:
Julius: 
Hakim: 
Board: 
The hand left Julius with around 15,000 chips and Hakim doubled to 116,600 chips.
Pre-Bubble Boy
We joined the action on a flop of 
with about 15,000 chips in the middle of the table in a heads-up pot.
Action was on Corwin Cole, and he made an overbet all in for about 35,000 total. Kyle Winter didn't waste much time calling, to put Cole at risk... and the latter was quite far behind:
Cole: 
Winter: 
A blank on the turn left Cole drawing dead, and he has been eliminated two places shy of the money.
If a Bubble Bursts in the Forest...
...and nobody's around to see it...
We were scouring the field for hands in progress, and dealer after dealer stood from their chairs to signal they had finished dealing one hand. There were still two tables involved in pots, and we watched those hands conclude as we prepared for the next bubble hand.
"Congratulations, players! You've made the money!" came the booming voice of the TD.
Really? We somehow failed to catch the unfortunate bubble boy as he made his exit, but we'll trust the staff and tell you that we've officially burst the bubble and we're off to the races for the push to toward the final table.
Fleischer Up, Pesek Down
With the board reading 
, Terry Fleischer opened to 4,000 from middle position and Michael Pesek called from late position.
The river brought the 
and Fleischer checked to Pesek who bet 7,500. Fleischer called tabling 
and Pesek mucked.
After the hand the their stacks look like this:
Fleischer - 45,000 chips
Pesek - 25,000 chips

I Fought The Law and The Law Won
Ted Lawson opened to 3,800 from early position and the action folded to a player in the cutoff who made the call. The players on the button and in the small blind released, and James Lee three-bet to 13,500 from the big blind. Lawson called all in, the player in the cutoff folded and the hands were tabled:
Lawson:
Lee: 
The board ran 
and Lawson doubled to 20,000.
Flopped Flush for Croft
The board read 
when we reached the table, and Charles Croft had bet 17,000. Yat Cheng made the call, but immediately mucked when seeing Croft's 
.
Croft is back above six-figures with 106,000 chips.
