According to the players on his table, Romualdo Cusano in the big blind shoved holding Ax10x. Big blind Jose Latorre called with JxJx. Latorre's jacks held through the runout eliminating Cusano on the bubble.
With playing being halted for hand-for-hand play on the bubble, Mauro Ferreira and Nissar Quraishi stood hand-to-hand trying to take down a pot.
The hand was joined on the turn with a juicy board reading Q♥6♥10♥J♥, showing all kinds or possibilities, Quraishi bet 10,000.
Ferreira raised to 25,000.
Quraishi responded by reraising to 60,000.
Unfazed, Ferreira grabbed a stack of green chips and said, "All in."
Quraishi paused for a moment, glanced at his stack and elected to let the hand go.
Jinho Hong opened to 16,000 and got called by button Rachid Amamou. Hong check-called Amamou's bet of 20,000 on the 5♦8♠3♠ flop.
Both players checked the 4♠ turn.
On the K♣ river, Hong fired 50,000 and Amamou called. Hong showed A♦K♥ prompting Amamou to muck his hand.
David Valden raised to 17,000 from middle position.
Facing bubble doom with a loss, Sho Homma moved all in with 198,000 chips from the big blind. Valden made the call.
Sho Homma: A♥K♣
David Valden: K♥K♠
Homma needed an ace to get past the cowboys, but didn't find it in the runout of 7♣2♥2♣6♠Q♠. Homma was knocked out, two spots outside the money.
With only 262 players left, and 261 players in the money, hand for hand play has been announced.
Eoghan O'Dea opened to 16,000 from middle position and Hang Xu called from the big blind to see a flop.
The dealer fanned out K♠Q♠5♣. Xu check-called O'Dea's 10,000 bet.
On the turn 5♦, Xu led out with 22,000 and O'Dea called.
Both players checked the 4♦ river.
Xu tabled K♦8♣ while O'Dea showed K♥9♣ for a chop.
With the bubble fast approaching, Alexander Baek moved all-in on the button. James Jewell, the chip leader at the table, quickly shoved as well from the small blind.
Alexander Baek: J♥J♣
James Jewell: K♥K♦
When Jewell tabled the kings, Baek hurriedly put his backpack on, and was about to head north to the exit.
Baek, who made a nice run in the $3,000 six-handed NLH event, finishing 12th in a field of 1,150, thought his tournament was over.
Then came the cards. A runout of 4♠10♠Q♠J♠8♦ hit his with the set on the turn and Baek had to sit back down.
