Bell shook his head in disbelief as he held onto his cards. He was left just about 6,000 and finally tossed his cards in the muck.
Bruno Fitoussi got the rest of his short stack all in on fourth street of a stud hi hand against Matt Waxman moments ago. Waxman had a concealed pair of queens, which held against Fitoussi's board, eliminating him from the tournament.
The players are back from their break and ready to play just two more levels. With some late bust outs last level, exactly 25 players are at the felt. That means we are on the bubble and play is hand-for-hand.
