Chris Carey Eliminated by Jerry Wong
Chris Carey (standing, center) was eliminated on the Money Bubble by Jerry Wong (seated, left).

There were no all-in situations for Hands #2, #3, or #4 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble.

In Hand #5, Jerry Wong moved all in from the small blind, and Chris Carey called all in from the big blind for 70,000 with AsQc.

Wong turned over Qh10c, and Carey was a dominant favorite to double up.

But the board came 10h6h3h5hKc, and Wong paired his ten on the flop and turned a heart flush to win the pot and eliminate Carey on the Money Bubble in 198th place.

Jerry Wong  –  570,000  (71 bb)
Chris Carey  –  Eliminated

The remaining 197 players are all in the money, guaranteed at least $6,150 each.

The average chip stack is about 319,000 (40 big blinds), and action is scheduled to continue tonight until the end of Level 21, shortly after 12:30 am.
