Jared Jaffee raised all in for 42,000 from middle position and was called by Michael Gilbert in the small blind.

Jared Jaffee: 7♥8♥ All in
Michael Gilbert: A♦K♦

Jaffee saw no help on a flop of 3♦Q♦4♣ looking to make a pair to survive, Gilbert picked up a diamond flush draw.

The turn sealed the deal when the 10♦ rolled off as Jaffee departed the table.

A river card of 4♠ made no difference and Gilbert raked in the pot.

Fist Bumps Instead of Fisticuffs

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

As soon as Alexi Siebelcortopassi sat at the table, the fireworks began.

His delay in checking into the table irritated Steven Buckner so much so that the two had a mild verbal confrontation, during which Buckner asked Siebelcortopassi, who is some 40 years his junIor, to meet him outside.

About the time the floor was called, Siebelcortopassi was acting even younger, mocking Buckner by using his balled fists to wipe away fake tears.

"Oh, keep crying like a little baby," Siebelcortopassi said before the floor intervened.

Despite the early intensity, the two Floridians put the argument behind them.

Exactly 12 minutes after the exchange, the two were laughing and fist-bumping each other.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With the bubble closing in and four players left to being in the money, the action folded to Christian Roberts on the button who raised to 99,000. Dean Hutchison called in the small blind position for his remaining 74,000.

Dean Hutchison: 8♠8♥ All in
Christian Roberts: 10♦9♥

"No sets" said Roberts as the board flopped 7♣K♣6♦ in jest as any eight giving Hutchison a set would give Roberts the nut straight.

The turn was the 5♥ with Hutchison in the lead going to the river.

Unfortunately for Roberts a river card of J♦ sent a pile of chips to Hutchison.

Dean Hutchison	162,000 91,000	91,000

The Bubble Has Burst; Sanchez Survives

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With 976 players remaining in the field, play was halted to prepare for hand-for-hand action. It was unnecessary, as when all was settled, four players were eliminated.

The group split the minimum cash ($1,647) four ways.

High drama played out on Table 450, as Luz Sanchez faced two tough decisions against Daniel Hirose.

With the flop and turn of 2♣7♣8♦8♥, Hirose bet 56,000 chips. Sanchez said didn't quite understand why every dealer in the room was standing, nor what hand-for-hand would be.

She thought long and hard about making the call. Eventually, the clock was called on her and with two seconds left, she threw in the call.

The 6♠ landed on the river and Hirose quickly pushed all in. Again, Sanchez went into the tank. Again, Hirose called for the clock.

"I'm sorry ... clock," he said.

Sanchez waited for a bit then made the call, risking her tournament life, and waited for Hirose to show.

Hirose turned over 4♣4♠. Sanchez, almost surprised, flipped Q♠Q♣ and took down the pot.

Had she lost the hand, the last minimum cash would have been split five ways.
