Hand-for-hand play has been going on for three hands now without losing a single player. On the first hand Shelly Fine managed to double up with pocket nines against pocket tens by turning a four flush.

Two players need to be lost to reach the money and the first to fall was Don Zewin who fell on the third hand of hand for hand play.

Zewin was in the big blind and called a shove from a player on the button. When the hands were turned up Zewin was ahead with {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} against an opponent's {Q-}{6-}. The board ran out and gave a straight to the player on the button and Zewin was eliminated in 218th place.

With one player left to bust the bubble, another player doubled up on the fourth hand with pocket fives against pocket aces after rivering a set to stay alive.

We're still waiting to catch that bubble boy which could be any second now.
