Daniel Negreanu moved all in the very first hand after the bubble burst. The action was folded to Daniel Weinman who called all in for just 31,000.
Showdown:
Daniel Negreanu:
Daniel Weinman:
The board ran out , and due to a rivered straight the pot was shipped to Negreanu. Weinman finished in 47th place and they will start dropping fast now.
It didn't take long for the first elimination to occur after the bubble burst. It happened when Justin Bonomo shoved for 48,500 with offsuit and was called by the of Eugene Katchalov. The board ran out clean and Bonomo exited in 48th place.
While attention was focused on the bubble, a hand developed over at Table 15 that saw Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier send quite a few chips over to Liv Boeree. As we understand it, Grospellier held and fired every street as the board ran out . Boeree called each bet and was pleased as punch to discover her was good.
October Niner Jesse Sylvia moved all in for his last 45,500 and was called by 2010 November Niner Joseph Cheong. The crowd gathered around filled with media members and players eager to see if they made the money. The hands were revealed to find that Sylvia was in need of some help.
Sylvia:
Cheong:
The flop fell and Cheong retained his lead. It wouldn't be an exciting bubble hand without a sweat, however, and the on the turn did just that. Sylvia needed to catch a diamond or an ace to stay alive in the tournament. Unfortunately for Sylvia the came down on fifth street and he was forced to settle for the title of bubble boy.
On his way out, Sylvia was wished good luck in the WSOP Main Event Final Table by many players at his table. On the other hand, with this elimination, Cheong is now flirting with 800,000 in chips.
A short-stacked Jesse Sylvia, who happens to be the chip leader in this year's October Nine and will be playing for millions of dollars in Vegas later this month, was all in under the gun for 24,000 and received a call from Prosper Masquelier in the big blind. Action was paused in order for action to conclude on the other tables, and then the cards were turned up:
Showdown
Masquelier:
Sylvia:
It was a flip, which meant the atmosphere was electric. The media and players alike surrounded Table 11 to await the flop... . Sylvia survived the hard part, and he was safe through the turn. Masquelier needed either a jack or queen in order to burst the bubble, and while the river was paint, it was the useless .
Sylvia let out a smile, turned, and gave Tournament Director Jack Effel a big hug.
The players will play another full level at 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante as long as the bubble doesn't burst. When the bubble busts we will immediately go to the next level. There are still 49 players remaining as we are playing hand-for-hand!
