Three Eliminations on the Bubble
Limits: 8,000-160,00
On the direct bubble, three eliminations happened.
Hand 1
Andrew Kelsall got his last 15,000 into the middle preflop with Robert Klein making the call.
Andrew Kelsall: A♠K♥ 
Robert Klein: 3♥3♠
Kelsall couldn't win the flip as the board came out 10♣J♣3♣4♣6♥ to give Klein the winner with a set of treys.
Hand 2
Mark Seif committed his last 11,000 from the cutoff with Ali Eslami calling from the button, Simeon Tsonev calling from the small blind, and Ian Pelz calling out of the big blind.
Tsonev bet the J♥8♣K♦ flop and only Eslami called.
The 4♠ came on the turn and Tsonev bet again. Eslami raised, and Tsonev three-bet. Eslami called.
Tsonev bet again on the 3♠ river and Eslami called.
Mark Seif: K♠9♣
Simeon Tsonev: K♣4♥
Seif had a pair of kings, but lost the pot to Tsonev's two pair, meaning Seif hit the rail. Eslami mucked his cards
Hand 3
Charles Thomas was all-in preflop with Christopher Claassen making the call to try and bust him.
Charles Thomas :Q♥J♦
Christopher Claassen: 8♠8♦
Thomas needed to find a queen or a jack to survive. The board ran out K♣2♦2♥2♠7♠, keeping Classen in the lead with pocket eights, and Thomas was out.
Because all of the players were at different tables and eliminated on the same hand, it meant that they each secured a cash of either $4,023 or $4,024.
