Alex Foxen: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Carlos Alvarado: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Alvarado Woke up with kings at the wrong time and couldn't find a third cowboy on the {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} runout, making him the Wynn Millions bubble boy.

Zaki Doubles on Bubble

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

After the other simultaneous all in hand resulted in an elimination, there was one more all in to run.

Justin Zaki was at risk, after he moved his remaining 75,000 all in. He was holding the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} against the {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} of David Goodman who had called the all in from the small blind.

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Zaki secured a double up and a place in the money.

Two Chips and a Chair Earn Halverson $25K

For most of Day 3, Mitchell Halverson has been on the short stack. In fact, he was so short on the money bubble that he had just 2,000 left and the big blind was two hands away. Fortunately for Halverson, Carlos Alvarado fell in 135th place to burst the bubble.

In the first hand in the money, Halverson called off under the gun and Santiago Soriano raised to 16,000 on the button. Ilyas Muradi called from the big blind and there was a side pot on the line.

Muradi check-called a bet of 12,000 on the {2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{j-Spades} flop and then action went check-check on the {2-Diamonds} turn. When the {10-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Muradi checked and Soriano bet 35,000. Muradi called and all three hands were tabled.

Ilyas Muradi: {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Mitchell Halverson: {q-Spades}{4-Spades}
Santiago Soriano: {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

Muradi caught Soriano bluffing and claimed both the main and side pots while sending Halverson home with a min-cash of $25,091.

Poker Hall of Famers Collide

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In one of the first hands after the money bubble burst, Poker Hall of Famers Daniel Negreanu and John Hennigan collided.

It happened when action folded to Hennigan on the button and he jammed for 65,000. Negreanu reshoved from the small blind to isolate and the hands were turned up.

John Hennigan: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Daniel Negreanu: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Negreanu has famously bemoaned his luck with pocket jacks, and his run bad with the fishhooks continued as the board ran out {5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} to give Hennigan new life with a straight.

We missed the elimination of 2013 WSOP Main Event champ Ryan Riess as it happened, but he was kind enough to fill us in on some details after the hand.

According to the man himself, he was down to six big blinds and jammed from the hijack. The player to his direct left called while the rest of the players got out of the way.

Ryan Riess: {4-}{4-}
Cutoff: {k-}{q-}

It was a race and while Riess held through both the {a-}{7-}{6-} flop and {a-} turn, a {k-} spiked on the river to end his run in 124th place for a min-cash of $25,091.

During the break, Andrew Moreno stopped by the media desk to relate a big hand that had played out post-bubble.

As he told it, he started the hand with around 225,000 when he looked down at {k-}{k-} and raised to 16,000 from early position. The player in the cutoff called with what turned out to be {k-}{8-} and the big blind came along with {4-}{4-}.

When the flop fell {k-}{8-}{4-} with two diamonds, both the player in the big blind and Moreno checked. The cutoff bet 22,000, the big blind check-raised to 60,000, and Moreno jammed.

The big blind re-jammed for around 800,000 while the cutoff called off for approximately 600,000.

A {10-} bricked on the turn followed by a {j-} on the river and Moreno tripled on the hand.
