It took about 20 minutes and three rounds of hand-for-hand play, but the bubble burst in Event 1 of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown $360 just moments ago. With 302 left and 300 heading into the money, Seminole Hard Rock Poker team member Mukul Pahuja and another unknown player hit the rail.

On Pahuja’s fateful hand, Fernando Halac limped from the cutoff and Pahuja raised all-in from the button for 121,000. It folded around to Halac who put the team pro at risk.

Halac: AcJc
Pahuja: Tc9c

Runout: Js6h3hKdAs

The runout

Halac flopped a pair, but Pahuja turned a draw. The river As gave Halac two pair good enough to earn him the pot and send Pahuja home on the bubble.

With the elimination, the 300 remaining players were sent into the money.
