Mayhem Ensues as the Bubble Bursts
While the GGPoker client froze during several hands close to the money bubble, it appears that it has indeed burst and Jean-Pierre "Kunkuwap" Van Der Spuy was the official bubble boy.
Michael Addamo opened to 120,000 from middle position and Van Der Spuy three-bet to 330,000 in the hijack. Back on Addamo, he clicked it back to 570,000 and Van Der Spuy then jammed for 1,544,667 only to get snapped off by the Aussie.

The 
flop and 
turn provided no help whatsoever to Van Der Spuy. All three remaining aces were live but the 
river paired the board, bursting the money bubble in spectacular fashion and vaulting Addamo to the top of the leaderboard.
Eder "BlueMoon" Campana survived with 0.2 big blinds and what followed was mayhem with an average below 20 big blinds, as half a dozen players were gone in the blink of an eye.

flop changed nothing yet Zhao picked up some additional outs on the 
turn. What followed was the blank
