In Hand #7 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, a player raised from middle position to 21,000, Eric Siegel called from the cutoff, and Contantinos Psallidas moved all in button for about 210,000.

The original raiser quickly called all in for about 175,000, and Siegel folded 4h4d face up.

The short stack showed KhKc, and needed it to hold to stay alive against the 8h8c of Psallidas.

The board came Js9c3s10s7c, and Psallidas caught a runner-runner jack-high straight to win the pot and eliminate his opponent in 69th place, bursting the Money Bubble and sending the rest of the field on to Day 2.

Flight D is already underway, with registration open until the start of Level 9, around 10:30 pm.
