The flop came {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts} and the action checked to Yogo who continued for 30,000. Pham called and Iyer got out of the way. The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} and Pham check-called another bet of 65,000 from Yogo.

The {k-Hearts} hit the river and Pham checked for the third time. Yogo quickly announced all in for 133,500 and Pham went into the tank. He asked for a count and then thought for a minute before decided to dump his cards to the muck.

Hart Bursts the Bubble by Eliminating Isla

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Taylor Hart (in a previous event)
Taylor Hart (in a previous event)

Joel Isla shoved from the hijack for 36,500 and was called by Taylor Hart in the big blind. The players accidentally flipped open their cards but were told to close them again as not all action was completed on the other tables. Once every other table was done, the suspense that was building up on the table and around it could be lifted as the board could be dealt.

Joel Isla: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Taylor Hart: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} to keep Hart ahead but another deuce could split the pot.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} which didn't change much, it just added more outs for Isla to stay alive if another deuce or trey would complete the board.

The river was the {k-Hearts} which meant the end of Isla's run in the tournament and that the bubble has now burst. Isla made his way out of the Miranda Room while the rest of the field celebrated the fact that they were now in the money.
