In Hand #7 of hand-for-hand play, Chance Kornuth raised from the button to 500,000, more than enough to put both of the blinds all in.

Tony Sinishtaj thought for a bit before calling all in from the small blind for 30,000, and Paul Fisher thought for a bit before calling all in for 140,000.

All three players turned over their cards:

Chance Kornuth:  Kc6c
Paul Fisher:  Jc9c
Tony Sinishtaj:  10c2c

As several players pointed out, all three players had clubs in their hands, so even if a flush came out, the big stack (Kornuth) had the highest club.

The board came Ks6h6d9s3h — Kornuth flopped a full house, but Fisher paired his nine on the turn with outs to a higher full house.

Money Bubble Hand

The river card was safe for Kornuth to win the pot with his full house, eliminating both Sinishtaj and Fisher on the same hand to burst the Money Bubble.

Chance Kornuth  –  1,225,000  (49 bb)
Paul Fisher  –  Eliminated in 20th Place
Tony Sinishtaj  –  Eliminated in 21st Place

With 19 players remaining from a field of 132, the average chip stack is around 695,000 (28 big blinds). The remaining players are in the money, guaranteed at least $57,055 each.

Action is scheduled to continue tonight until there are 16 players remaining, and the survivors will return tomorrow at 2:00 pm EDT to play down to a winner.
