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 
.

. 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.

Fehlig's Hit the Lead!
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?"
