Aaron Overton moved all in under the gun for 151,000, and Bin Weng called from the cutoff with AdQh. Overton turned over JhJc, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came As5h3c9c4c, and Weng paired his ace on the flop to win the pot and eliminate Overton on the Money Bubble.

Bin Weng  –  640,000  (64 bb)
Aaron Overton  –  Eliminated on the Money Bubble

When Overton was eliminated, there was another hand still in progress with Carlos Guerrero shoving the river against Aaron Mermelstein. Mermelstein tanked for a long time, starting before Overton’s elimination and ending after it, but Mermelstein eventually folded, leaving Overton as the sole bustout on the Money Bubble.

With 109 players remaining from a field of 865, the average chip stack is around 397,000 (40 big blinds). The remaining players are in the money and guaranteed at least $9,700 each.
