As we just mentioned, it's been an up and down bubble for Huck Seed, so it seems fitting that he bubbled in a similar fashion. It folded around to Seed, and he committed his last 2,800 chips. The big blind was the only caller, and when the cards were flipped, Seed was miles ahead.
Seed: 
Opponent: 
Seed offered a few short words of commentary as the hand progressed. When the cards were flipped, he said "domination". When the flop came down 
, he said "gutter ball". His opponent had picked up an inside straight draw, meaning an eight or nine would secured the knockout. The 
hit the turn, and Seed could only hope for a chop. The river was the 
, and in Seed's words, "bubble boy". Indeed, Seed is the last player in the tournament to walk away without a pay day.

It's been quite a roller coaster for Huck Seed on the bubble so far. First, he was in the big blind for 1/3 of his stack, and called a raise on the button. The flop came down 
, and Seed committed the rest of his chips. His opponent called, and Seed was in great shape.
Seed: 
Opponent: 
The turn and river came 
, and Seed secured the much needed double up.
On the very next hand, we caught Seed up against an opponent, with Seed betting on the flop, 
, and the turn, the 
. He was called both times, and the river was the 
. Seed checked to his oppponet, who put out a bet of 3,000, which represented Seed's remaining stack. He went deep into the tank, thinking for at least three minutes while every other table was done. Finally, he released his hand, and his opponent showed 
for a straight. This dropped Seed back down to 2,900, and he's once again the short stack in the room.
Also, level 13 has ended, but the staff will wait until the money bubble has burst to raise the level.

So far we have had two short stacks get it and hold. We still have 82 players left vying for 81 spots in the money.
We missed the action, but we saw that Michael Benvenuti got his short stack in preflop with 
against his opponent's 
. The board ran out ace high without pairing either player, and Benvenuti was sent to the rail.
That leaves us with 82 players, putting us on the exact money bubble.

Huck Seed was crippled down to his final 2,000 on the previous hand, when he got it all in preflop against two opponents, one of them being Michael Benvenuti. The flop came down 
, and both players checked. The 
came on the turn, and Benvenuti bet out. His opponent folded, and the cards were tabled.

Benvenuti: 
As unlikely as it was, Seed's ten high was good, as his nine kicker played. The river was the , and Seed survived to triple up, though he's still very short stacked at 6,000.

A player raised to 3,000 from under the gun and action folded around to David Benyamine, who moved all in for around 4,200 on the button. The original raiser called and the cards went on their backs:

UTG: 
The 
flop spelled doom for Benyamine and the 
on the turn sent the Frenchman off to the rail a few spots short of the money.

, and the middle position player continuation bet. Nguyen called, and the hit the turn. Nguyen's opponent bet again, but this time, Nguyen raised. He was called, and the river was the . It was checked to Nguyen, and he put out another bet. His opponent tanked for a minute before calling, and Nguyen turned over 
for quads. His opponent mucked, and Nguyen dragged the pot to get up to 52,000.
