After the bubble burst, Linglin Zeng and Adrien Delmas were entangled in an all-in hand preflop.
Adrien Delmas: A♠Q♦
Linglin Zeng: A♥7♦
Delmas was ahead, and it stayed that way when the dealer fanned out K♥10♦8♥Q♠4♠, giving Delmas a pair.
Brian Rast raised from early position to 40,000, and Sam Soverel three-bet all in for his remaining 240,000. Rast snap called:
Sam Soverel: A♣K♣
Brian Rast: A♦A♥
It was looking grim for Soverel, and barring some miracle, he would be eliminated in 52nd place.
The flop came 2♠2♣8♠, which gave Soverel no help, but he did pick up a chop out when the 2♥ fell on the turn. No deuce on the river when the 10♣ fell and Soverel was sent packing as the bubble boy.
Jonathan Jaffe opened to 45,000 on the button and Oliver Weis three-bet to 135,000 in the small blind. Paulius Vaitiekunas clicked it to 225,000 from the big blind which got Jaffe to fold but Weis couldn't resist the price.
The flop came 10♠10♣2♣ and Weis checked to Vaitiekunas who made a small bet of 55,000. Weis flung his cards into the muck and Vaitiekunas collected the pot.
"Show the four or five," Chino Rheem pleaded.
Vaitiekunas complied and flashed the 8♣ before they went into the muck.
Landon Tice raised under the gun to 40,000, and David Coleman three-bet all in for 280,000 from the cutoff. Tice called.
David Coleman: J♣J♥
Landon Tice: A♣Q♣
A nice flop for Coleman, which came 7♠9♠J♦, and gave him a set, and when the 3♦ came on the turn, he was guaranteed to survive and get a full double up and more. The 3♥ came on the river, which was a bit of overkill.
Jared Bleznick and David Peters were involved in a three-bet pot with nearly 500,000 in the middle and the board reading 6♣6♦2♥J♦. Peters checked from the big blind and Bleznick counted out a bet of 240,000 which Peters called.
The river was the K♦ and Peters checked again. Bleznick slid out a bet of 525,000 which put Peters in the tank for a minute before he folded.
"What are you doing, Blez?" Chino Rheem asked from a neighboring table.
"What do you mean, 'what am I doing'? We're on the f***ing bubble," Bleznick responded.
Play is now hand-for-hand in the $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed event.
Thomas Eychenne raised to 100,000 from the cutoff, leaving just 30,000 behind, and John Hennigan shoved all in from the small blind. Eychenne flicked in the last of his chips and the cards were tabled.
Thomas Eychenne: K♥J♦
John Hennigan: 8♠8♥
It was a coin flip but the flop of A♣K♦Q♦ gave Eychenne the lead with a pair of kings. The A♥ on the turn and the 3♣ on the river changed nothing, leaving Hennigan with 130,000 now.
Boris Kolev raised to 50,000, and Michael Jozoff flat called from the button. Daniel Smiljkovic then moved all in for his last 75,000, and Kolev called. Jozoff then three-bet to 225,000 to isolate, and Kolev folded.
Daniel Smiljkovic: QxKx
Michael Jozoff: A♠Q♠
The flop came 2♣5♦4♥ and gave no help for Smiljkovic, nor did the 5♣ turn and 7♠ river, and he was sent to the rail.
John Hennigan opened the action with a raise to 30,000 from under the gun.
Thomas Eychenne called from the button, and Kai Cohen came along from the big blind.
All three players checked the flop of 8♥9♥6♣.
Cohen led out for 60,000 on the 8♠ turn, and was called by Eychenne.
The 10♠ river led to Cohen pushing out 90,000. Eychenne took some time before flicking in a chip for the call.
Cohen showed 7♦7♣ for a straight as Eychenne pitched his cards into the muck.
David Peters opened for a raise to 40,000. Cary Katz called in the small blind and the two went heads up to a flop.
The action went check-check on the 9♦8♥4♣ board. On the 10♣ turn, Katz led out for 100,000. Peters used a time bank card, before jamming all in for the remainder of Katz's chips. Katz quickly made the call and turned over 10♠10♦. Peters showed him the bad news as he had 7♠6♠ for a straight.
The A♣ river did not improve Katz, and he was eliminated from the tournament on the soft bubble.
Peters is now one of the largest stacks in the tournament.
