The WPTDeepStacks Main Event was on the money bubble soon after the break and they went into hand-for-hand mode one elimination from the money. Then it slowed down.
The Main Event was finally in the money after five hands, two double ups, and nearly 30 minutes. It happened when the soon-to-be bubble player was all-in for 92,000 and at risk against Dorian Rios with the board reading . They had to wait until action was complete at the other tables before flipping over their cards.
