Kobayashia, Pais Share the Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

It took 18 hands to eliminate a player on the bubble, when two were sent out at the same time.

Down to just 18,000 chips and facing the big blind and big blind ante in the next hand, Hirokazu Kobayashi raised to 17,000 under the gun, holding back a single 1,000 chip.

Action folded around to Josep Ruiz in the big blind. He reraised to put Kobayashi all in.

Kobayashi tossed in the last chip.

Hirokazu Kobayashi: A♣K♦All in
Josep Ruiz: Q♦4♥

Kobayashi's strong preflop standing was short-lived, as the door card from the flop of 5♦5♥Q♣ gave Ruiz top pai, and the full runout 7♦6♠ didn't change anything.

At the other end of the room, Mauricio Pais raised to 70,000 on the button and Ran Ilani asked for the rest of his opponent's stack in the big blind. Pais made the quick call, and the cards were turned up.

Mauricio Pais: A♠A♦ All in
Ran Ilani: J♣4♥

Ilani found some help on the 10♠9♠J♥ flop, while Pais remained ahead on the 7♥ turn. Ilani then spiked the 4♣ river, making two pair to eliminate Pais.

Kobayashi and Pais split 84th place, each earning $10,077.

George Birdsong opened shoved 126,000 from middle position, and Yuya Kita went all in from the small blind.

George Birdsong: A♠J♦ All in
Yuya Kita: Q♣Q♦

The flop came J♥5♥8♣. A big "oooooh!" was let out from the table as the turn came the J♠, and the 6♠ on the river gave Birdsong a massive double-up on the stone bubble.

Vladas Tamasauskas: K♠K♣ All in
Thomas Cannuli: A♦7♦

Tamasauskas saw his pocket kings become a full house on the J♠K♦J♥ flop, with the 3♠ turn and Q♦ river completing the board as he doubled through Cannuli on the bubble.

Jeffery Trudeau opened to 16,000 in the cutoff, and Andrew Saba sent his last 25,000 into the middle on the button. Action folded back around to Trudeau, who made the quick call.

Andrew Saba: A♠A♣ All in
Jeffery Trudeau: Q♠Q♣

Saba stayed in front on the 10♠9♥7♠ flop and 7♥ turn. Alex Keating then called for a six on the river, and the dealer flipped over the 6♥ to confirm Saba's double.

Faraz Jaka led out for 20,000 on the K♥Q♠8♦ flop, and Calvin Anderson made the call on the button. Jaka checked the 6♦ turn, with Anderson checking back.

The dealer revealed the J♥ river, and Jaka fired 75,000 into the middle. Anderson took some time before announcing all in.

That sent Jaka into the tank, taking a few minutes before letting his hand go.

Erik Seidel Out Just Shy of Bubble

With two players needed to be ousted for the bubble to burst, and after four hands of hand-for-hand play, Jeremy Dan raised from the cutoff.

Erik Seidel three-bet all in with 163,000 chips. Dan made the call.

Erik Seidel: A♣K♣All in
Jeremy Dan: 10♣10♦

The classic race would go to the made hand, as the runout of 8♠5♥7♥4♥4♦ did not help Seidel's suited big slick, and he became the next-to-the-last person to be eliminated before the money.

Paul Lagan opened to 16,000 from the hijack, and Fahredin Mustafov made the call in the cutoff. Mustapha Kanit then moved all in from the big blind for 144,000, and Lagan shoved his stack.

Mustafov got out of the way, and action was paused until play concluded on the other tables.

Mustapha Kanit: 10♠10♥ All in
Paul Lagan: 7♣7♥

Both players missed the K♦6♠A♠9♦6♦ board, leaving Kanit's higher pair ahead to double on the bubble.
