Dinner Break Announced
Players are now on a 60-minute dinner break.
Players are now on a 60-minute dinner break.
It took nearly an hour for the bubble to burst, and it's only fitting in a tournament played with split-spot game that two players would fall in the last hand before the dinner break and have to split 48th-place money,
Omaha Hi-Low
In one hand, we arrived at the table with a board reading . A short-stacked Dustin Leary was already all in from the big blind, while action was complete between Tyson Marks and Mike Roeseler.

Marks had the wheel to scoop the pot, which eliminated Leary on the bubble. However, two tables down there was another all-in pot.
Stud Hi-Low
Chris Klodnicki was all in after third and got three callers, Tom Schneider got out of the way on fifth and then the action was capped between Julie Schneider and Christopher McHugh on sixth. On seventh there was just single bet and call.
Tom Schneider: / muck
Julie Schneider: / /
McHugh: / /
Klodnicki: / /
Schneider won the high with a seven high straight, while McHugh took the low with a wheel. That sent Klodnicki out as the co-bubble boy. Klodnicki and Leary will split the $4,694.

Omaha Hi-Low
Thomas Beckstead has been working with a short stack here on the bubble, and while he has been at risk several times, he refuses to go down.
Most recently he raised to 6,000 under the gun and encouraged Fu Wong to three-bet, which he did. Action folded back to Beckstead and he got all in for 9,500 total. Wong called the additional 500 and the cards were tabled.

The board ran out and the two spilt the pot as Wong had the high and Beckstead the low.

Omaha Hi-Low
Julie Schneider called down the bets of an opponent on the board with for top pair and a super wrap, but the opponent had that beat with pocket jacks for a full house.
Number seven of the hand-for-hand play on the bubble is now complete on all tables.

Stud Hi-Low
On the sixth hand of the bubble, only two active players remained and Thomas Beckstead was all in after third, Jon Turner had to call off with the while his opponent had the .

Beckstead won the pot with two pair and Turner could not chop it as he had no low.
Stud Hi-Low
Thomas Beckstead was the extreme short stack among the remaining 49 players; in fact, he had just 800 going into the last hand. Nearly all of that — 700 to be exact — was in for the ante, meaning he had a single grey T100 chip behind. It would go in on the hand when he was dealt the . Humberto Brenes had brought it in with a completion with the , and the rest of the field folded.

Beckstead was guaranteed to stay alive on fifth street as he had an unbeatable low, but he was looking for a high to scoop. He ended up with a measly ace-king high, but much to his delight it was enough to beat Brenes' queen high.
Beckstead has staved off elimination, at least for a bit.

Stud Hi-Low
We are down to 49 players after losing Ismael Bojang and Marco Johnson. We missed the elimination of the German in 51st place, but Johnson we saw all in against two players in a stud hi-low hand.
He held aces on third and still could not win the pot, as Matt Lefkowitz hit two pair on seventh.

"How the #### can I lose this hand?" Johnson asked towards the table and then left the tournament area quickly.
