After a recount, the money bubble did actually burst before the dinner break and the players are in for a nice surprise when they get back.
Only bad part, we don't know who the bubble boy is!
C'est la vie.

Remember when we told you before about that drama between "Hollywood" Dave Stann and Men Nguyen?
Dave has spoken out on his twitter account about it.
"This just in: Men the Master is an angle shooting piece of s***. Guess I always knew that but WOW. Dude is a piece of work"
With 94 players remaining, players are now going on a one-hour dinner break. We'll get chip counts for all remaining players in the meantime.
With 96 players left and 90 making the money, play has slowed down here in the $1500 Omaha Hi-Low Split 8 or Better. Ari Engel had a particularly short stack (about 20,000 starting the hand) and took advantage of every second he could get to try and prolong his tournament life (around 10 minutes for this one hand).
Preflop, Guillaume Rivet raised to 4,000 and Engel spent three minutes in the tank deciding on whether or not to call. A clock was called and one of the tournament supervisors made it clear to him that he wasn't going to get away with stalling every round of the hand. Ari then said half sarcastically half seriously, "I'm in a big hand for my tournament life, I need time to make a decision."
The flop came 
and Rivet bet. Engel, again, stalled for as long as he could and the clock was called again before Engel eventually called.
The turn was a 
and Rivet checked. But, you guessed it, Engel again stalled for as long as he could before the clock was called and he checked behind.
The river was a 
and Rivet checked again. Again, Engel stalled and the tournament supervisor almost immediately gave him the clock. Engel pleaded saying, "I'm down to my last 5,300, don't I get any courtesy time?" to which the tournament supervisor responded, "Maybe if the clock wasn't called on you every single move of this hand, but now, no."
Engel ended up betting on the river and was called by Rivet. The two ended up chopping the pot and soon after left for the dinner break.
During the ten minute hand, three players were eliminated and as it stands we are two away from the money.
We didn't see the action, but it looks as though Erick Lindgren has been knocked out just before the money.
Also gone is Mel Judah whose 
lost to Michael Simon's 
on a 
board with no low possible.
Barry Greenstein has been crippled by Fabrizio Gonzalez. The board was reading 
and Gonzalez showed 
for the nut straight which Greenstein couldn't beat or even show a qualifying low.
"The Bear" is down to 4,000 while Gonzalez has 65,000 now.
Ben Yu just had Michael Block all in preflop. Block held 
and had Yu Dominated against 
. The 
flop was a dramatic one as it gave Yu Broadway and Block the nut flush draw. However the 
and turn and river didn’t produce the heart that Block needed and he was eliminated. Yu was up to 57,000 after the hand.
