There hasn’t been much action on the Money Bubble since Jake Schindler was eliminated in sixth place.

However, shortly before the break, with the blinds still at 5,000-10,000, chipleader Cary Katz raised under the gun to 100,000 (same raise he made the previous hand), and Chris Brewer moved all in from the big blind for 261,000.

Katz tanked for a long time before he folded, and Brewer showed JhJd as he took the pot.

Chris Brewer  –  376,000  (38 bb)
Cary Katz  –  1,000,000  (100 bb)

A few minutes later, they took a 10-minute break, and these were their updated chip counts with the blinds increasing to 5,000-15,000 with a big blind ante of 15,000:
