Players returned from the dinner break invigorated – we lost a few more right off the bat, and then a hapless gentleman who will remain nameless owing to the absence of any player ID card got his pocket queens cracked by Maxime Chilaud’s A-K to become the bubble-bubble. I could have asked him his name, but he looked so pissed off about it I decided not to rub salt in the wound. King on the river as well. Ouch.
Anyway, it basically doesn’t matter who that guy was, because his exit meant that just 46 players remained and hand-for-hand play was announced. The bubble! However, a hand was still in progress as this was all happening, and Lars Austli managed to bust out on it. Which means that 45 players now remain, and all of them are in the money! Congratulations everybody! Celebrations!
