Tournament staff asked all dealers to stand when their hand was complete, they counted down the remaining players, and Event 1 was officially on the money bubble with 451 remaining and 450 getting paid.

They dealt one hand and we had four all-ins called at separate tables. We had two doubles but two knockouts.

Kyle Carino opened for a min-raise and picked up three callers to a flop. He bet, Roberto Alberro raised, and the other two players released. Carino put in a fourth bet and all the chips went in the middle, Alberro at risk for 220,000.

Carino:
Alberro:

Carino flopped middle set and needed to dodge the flush draw of Alberro. Or make a full house on the river to leave Alberro drawing dead to the flush-giving river. He was eliminated on the bubble but we still had one more hand to go.

Kyle Carino – 510,000 (85 bb)

James Gavin jammed for 89,000 from middle position and it folded to George Navarro on the button. Navarro had Gavin well covered and he called. The blinds folded and Gavin waited patiently while the remaining tables finished up their hands.

After a couple minutes, tournament supervisor Jordan Cutter approached the table and Gavin and Navarro exposed their hands.

Gavin:
Navarro:

Gavin had the best of it, but it was his stack that was at risk.

Runout:

After fading the flop, Gavin met his fate with the turn. Navarro hit the three-outer coming from behind to take the lead in the hand and leave Gavin busted for half of a min-cash.

George Navarro – 520,500 (86 bb)

Both players chopped up 450th place money and received $318.
