Jay Klitzner

With the money bubble lurking, the field was one elimination away from going into hand-for-hand mode. But Jay Klitzner took care of business and burst the bubble on his own with one hand.

There were 140 players remaining when he found himself with pocket jacks and two short stacks took a stand. The three-way pot saw his jacks hold against Ax9x and AxQx to send both players out, put the rest of the field in the money, and eliminate the need for hand-for-hand.
