Level 16: 4,000/8,000 with a 1,000 ante
Players Remaining: 33 of 331

On the first hand of hand-for-hand play, Simon Tremblay raised to 20,000 on the button and the player in the big blind moved all in. Tremblay calls and was the player at risk for his last 163,000.

The table was shocked that two of the bigger stacks at the table were going at it on the bubble and Tremblay was in good shape to double up with his QsQd against the big blind’s 2h2d.

The board ran out Jh5d3c9sQh and Tremblay doubled up. On the same hand at a neighboring table, one of the shorter stacks busted with Ax9x against his opponent’s pocket aces. The bubble burst and the final 33 players move on to Day 2.

The players have completed play for today and the staff are verifying everybody’s chip stacks. A complete recap will be posted later tonight.

Simon Tremblay – 337,000
