Money Bubble Burst

During the first hand of hand-for-hand play, the money bubble was burst. There were multiple eliminations at different tables around the room, making it difficult for the tournament staff to determine who finished in what place.

Nonetheless, the remaining players are in the money and action has returned to normal.

Call It Off

On a board reading {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, Kevin Boudreau shoved for about 30,000 into a 28,000-chip pot. Chris Wa thought about it for a minute, then called all in. Boudreau showed {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for bottom pair and was clearly bluffing on the dangerous board. But with {a-Spades}{4-Spades}, Wa had called for his tournament life with ace-high and couldn't beat a bluff. He got extremely angry when he saw Boudrea's pair of threes. "Why didn't you much? You should have mucked when I called!" he shouted and stormed away from the table. Boudreau was amazed that he'd won the hand. "I've never seen a hand like that before," he said.

Wilf Takes a Pot From Binger

Nick Binger raised under the gun to 3,700 and was called by Saar Wilf in Seat 9 and Victor Ramdin in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and all players checked.

The {2-Spades} on the turn was checked by both Ramdin and Binger, but Wilf bet out 6,000. Binger made the call after Ramdin got out of the way and the river came {2-Diamonds}.

Binger checked and Wilf methodically bet 15,000. Binger called but mucked his hand when Wilf turned over {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Binger still has a healthy chip stack around 180,000.

Ramdin Moves All In

Victor Ramdin
Victor Ramdin

After Michael Frandsen raised, Victor Ramdin shoved all in for 14,000. Frandsen made the call and showed {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} but was behind Ramdin's {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

The flop made things interesting when it came {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}, giving Ramdin a set and Frandsen a straight draw. The {5-Spades} on the turn changed nothing and Ramdin was one card away from a double up.

The {5-Hearts} on the river gave Ramdin a full house and increased his stack to 31,000.
