Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

The bubble went very quickly with just one hand during hand-for-hand action. Sebastian "Weizen" Gaehl was the unfortunate bubble player in 432nd place, but thanks to the GGPoker exclusive Early Bird Bubble Protection, he got his buy-in back for the trouble of bubbling. Action is playing down fast now with fewer than 400 players left.
