With the board reading , Paul Fehlig bet out only to find Kenny Nguyen move all in. Fehlig called, tabling
for trip queens, but was behind Nguyen's
nut flush. The river bricked out for Fehlig when then
hit, and Nguyen was able to double up to about 31,000 while Fehlig dropped to 136,000.
During hand-for-hand play, we found Hungary's Imre Karpati in the far end of the Purple section, who was running on fumes with less than 3,000 in chips. He was only more than happy to just keep letting the antes eat away slowly at his stack, and to his delight, the bubble burst over in the Orange section and we are now in the money!
As the other dealers had stood up, there was one more hand playing out between Jeff Ostrom and Justin Schwartz on a board that read .
Schwartz checked, Ostrom bet 15,000 and Schwartz called, then he checked again on the river of the . Ostrom shoved for 50,000, Schwartz tanked and then called all-in for 33,000.
Ostrom showed for two pair.
Schwartz mucked and was eliminated on the bubble. Everyone left is now in the money.

Paul Fehlig had only just arrived at table 362 when Kenny Nguyen piped up, "Hey man, where'd you get all those chips from, man?"
"I know one of the floor guys here," Fehlig joked. "He let me take them all from the cage!"
No clandestine operations here ladies and gents - we can reveal that he's doubled his original starting stack and is now our new chip leader!
