After playing for 55 minutes two spots from the money to start the day, it took less than five minutes to burst the actual Money Bubble.

Kristan Lord raised from the cutoff to 20,000, and Phil Hui called all in from the button for 18,000. Aron Dermer called from the big blind, and there was 59K in the main pot and another 4K in a side pot. Any additional betting would go into the side pot.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of AsKd8s10h, Dermer checked, Lord bet 20,000, and Dermer called.

The river card was the 2h, Dermer checked, Lord bet 20,000, and Dermer called.

Kristan Lord:  KsKhQc2c  (set of kings, no low)
Aron Dermer:  7d5s3h2s  (pair of deuces, 8-5-3 low)
Phil Hui:  Ac7c5h4h  (pair of aces, 8-5-4 low)

Lord won the high side with his set of kings, and Dermer won the low side with his 8-5-3 low. They split the pot to eliminate Hui on the Money Bubble.

Kristan Lord  –  425,000  (21 BB)
Aron Dermer  –  125,000  (6 BB)
Phil Hui  –  Eliminated
