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.
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.
We didn't see the action because the cards were already rushed away but Joseph Aronesty got chopped up by Humberto Brenes (low) and Owais Ahmed (high). Only one hand later, short stack bubble miracle Thomas Beckstead was sent to the rail as well.
Vanessa Selbst brought it in with the showing and a short-stacked Chris Reslock moved in for 2,500 total. Erik Seidel then raised to 6,500, Jan Erik Sorensen called, and Selbst got out of the way. Seidel and Sorensen both checked fourth, and then the latter folded to a bet of 8,000 from the former on fifth.

Sorensen: / fold
Seidel had a lot of outs headed to seventh, but he blanked. That allowed Reslock to increase his stack with queens and fours.
We are down to 40 players already. Daniel Makowsky ran out of chips and Thomas Butzhammer did so as well with pocket tens. Another opponent had tens as well and Joe Tehan looked them both up with the showing and as down cards. Tehan ended up with aces but the other player made tens and sevens to scoop the pot and bust Butzhammer.
We caught the action on sixth street when Robert Mizrachi bet, Konstantin Puchkov folded, and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow raised all in. Mizrachi called with a wheel and Matusow was in big trouble.
"I need a heart," he said before the dealer dealt seventh. "It's read," he said as he squeezed it out.
Mizrachi: / /
Matusow: / /
Just like the great and powerul Oz did for the Tinman, Matusow was granted a heart to extend his tournament life.

The mixed game specialist from Germany, George Danzer, has been eliminated. He was rather short and had half of his stack in pre flop with and saw a flop to draw to the nut low. He was called by and turn as well as river blanked out to avoid a chop.
