With 73 players remaining and 72 getting paid, the tournament went into hand-for-hand mode until they lost one player. The first hand was inconsequential but the second blasted off.

On Table 19, Cory Blum opened to 17,000 and Scott Jordan three-bet shoved from the cutoff for 77,000. The rest of the table folded and Blum called. While they were waiting for the other tables to finish, two other all-ins were called for the triple at risk.

Blum: 9d9h
Jordan: KdQc

They were racing and Jordan was unable to connect on the Ac5s2cAs5c board to exit on the bubble.

But there was still some business to decide.

On Table 12, David Rivera and Philip Consolo were heads-up to the Qc7c2s flop when Consolo put his last 16,000 in the middle. He was ahead of Rivera with Qd7s against pocket kings, improved to a boat on the 7d turn but the two-out Kh hit the river for the tough bubble beat.

On Table 7, we did not see the action or board but Ronald Campillo joined Consolo and Jordan at the payout desk where the three players split 71st and 72nd money.

Philip Consolo – Eliminated in 71st ($769)
Scott Jordan – Eliminated in 72nd ($769)
Ronald Campillo – Eliminated in 73rd ($768)
