With the bubble gone, there have been a slew of eliminations, with a long line for the payouts desk already forming.

In the Money!

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

After the previous hand took almost five minutes from start to finish, with Liran Twito scoring the big double-up, it was announced the remaining players were all officially in the money.

Twito Up to Half a Milly

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

During hand for hand play on the bubble just now, two players didn't look worried about busting outside of the money. One was Liran Twito. Action was on the turn and he check-raised to 100,000, with {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} on the board. His opponent called and on the {4-Spades} river, Twito set the rest of it in, for 99,000. He got a call and turned over {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a flush, with his opponent flashing the table {a-Spades}{8-Spades} before throwing his cards into the muck.

Harwood Boats Up and Doubles Up

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Loni Harwood moved all in from early position, and when action folded around to the player in the cutoff he re-shoved all in, which got folds from the remaining players.

Loni Harwood: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Cutoff-Player: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Harwood took the lead on the {a-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop and her hand improved to a full house on the {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs} runout to give her the full double-up as the money bubble approached.

The board ran out {j-Spades}{k-Hearts} and Meman's ace-queen-high eliminated his opponent as the money bubble closed in.
