No Bubble Drama as Of Yet
Just before the tournament went into hand-for-hand mode on the bubble, Aaron Mermelstein bet the 
river for 225,000 in the small blind. Joni Jouhkimainen raised to 875,000 and Mermelstein mucked his cards with plenty of frustration.
During the first five hands on the bubble, nothing much happened. Chance Kornuth got through with a three-bet against Robert Cowen to chip up some.
On the same table, Aaron Katz won two pots of which one went into showdown when Cowen opened to 125,000. On the 
flop, Katz check-called for 150,000 and they checked the 
turn as well as the 
river. Katz' 
were good enough to win the pot, as Cowen mucked.
During the same hand one table over, Michael Heritsch opened to 125,000 on the button and Dash Dudley came along in the big blind. The 
flop was checked by both and Dudley bet the 
turn for 130,000, earning a call from Heritsch.
After the 
river, Dudley checked and subsequently folded when Heritsch bet 275,000. "Quads for sure," Ben Lamb guessed and Heritsch replied "ace ace deuce" while raking in the pot.
