After barely surviving the bubble, Matt Wood finally succumbed, no doubt happy to be taking home a $5,557 min-cash.

With the money bubble bursting, the level is now up and we are back to normal play. We missed the action on the bubble hand as several all ins occurred simultaneously around the room. With that, the 55 remaining players are guaranteed at least $5,557.
Level: 16
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 0
After getting quartered in the previous hand, Matt Wood found himself all in after Jesse Cohen raised from the small blind.
Showdown
Wood: 



Cohen: 



Wood was at risk for the second consecutive hand, but he would receive another reprieve as the board ran out 



to give him a full house.

Matt Wood moved all in from under the gun for 6,000 and cleared the field all the way around to Jesse Cohen, who made the call from the big blind.
Showdown

| Wood | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The board ran out 



and Cohen laid claim to 3/4 of the pot, knocking Wood, who will be in the big blind next, down to just 3,500.

We saw a crowd gathering over at Table 356, which is right next to the rail, and discovered Roch Cousineau had just doubled, and in big fashion. We're not sure of his opponent's hand, but Cousineau had 


laid out in front of him with a board reading 



.

It has been an hour since the last blind increase, but as we are still playing hand-for-hand, the blinds will stay at the same level until the bubble has burst.
