Event 14: The Turbo Is In the Money!

$350 Big Stack Turbo No Limit Hold’em (Single Re-Entry)
Level 21: 5,000/10,000/1,000 Ante

With 28 players left in the field, the Turbo began hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble — which only lasted one hand. The remaining 27 players were all guaranteed at least $729 each.

Here are a couple of notable chip counts as the bubble burst:

Dan Heimiller  –  250,000  (25 bb)
Jorge Gomez  –  205,000  (21 bb)
Eric Piderit  –  202,000  (20 bb)
Ralph Massey  –  170,000  (17 bb)
Stuart Paterson  –  82,000  (8 bb)

The final 27 players redrew for random seats at the final three tables, and then action continued. In the first or second hand, Stuart Paterson was eliminated in 27th place.
