Mark Dickner asked the floor if the bubble received a package to the WSOP Paradise Main Event before tossing in his last 5,000 from early position. Thomas Boivin then raised to 20,000 in early position, but Kelvin Kerber moved all in in the hijack and Boivin folded.
Mark Dickner: 5♥3♥ 
Kelvin Kerber: K♥J♣
Dickner was actively rooting for his own elimination as the flop came K♣Q♥10♣ to give Kerber top pair. Dickner picked up a flush draw on the 8♥ turn, but he missed the 2♣ river and raised his arms in the air in celebration after being eliminated on the bubble.
In another section, Mathew Frankland was all-in for 51,000 on a flop of 4♦5♣9♦ and a pot of 55,000. Michael Miravi, his heads-up opponent, made the call.
Mathew Frankland: 10♦9♥
Michael Miravi: K♦K♥
Frankland had hit top pair on the flop, but couldn't beat Miravi's pocket kings. The A♣7♦ runout didn't help Frankland at all, making him one of the players who busted on the bubble.
Sachin Joshi was forced all-in with his stack of 4,000 in the small blind. Julien Mariani put in a raise to 16,000 from early position before the player on his direct left three-bet to 40,000. The action folded to the big blind, who elected to cold-call. Mariani also called.
The dealer burned and turned three, providing a 3♥4♥3♣ flop. The player in the big blind checked, but Mariani decided to take over the betting lead, placing a wager of roughly 65,000. The rest folded.
Sachin Joshi: 9♠6♣
Julien Mariani: K♦6♦
There was no help for Joshi on the 8♦ turn, and while he made a pair on the 6♥ river, Mariani had made the same pair with a superior kicker, resulting in Joshi's elimination from the Main Event.
