On the first hand, there were three all-in and calls scattered throughout the Brasilia Room. There were two double-ups and one person, unfortunately, became the bubble boy.
The action folded to the button who jammed all in for around 85,000. Victor Paredes was in the big blind and called to put his opponent at risk.
Button: ![]()

Victor Paredes: ![]()
![]()
It was a coin flip until the flop of ![]()
![]()
hit the felt to give Paredes a set of jacks. The
on the turn and the
on the river meant Paredes eliminated his opponent and burst the bubble.
