Approximately 70,000 was already in the middle on a flop of 9♥3♦2♣ when David Hanes bet 25,000 and was met with an all-in bet from John Vournas which well covered Hanes' remaining 65,000.
Hanes made the call, and barring a miracle, Hanes was destined to bubble this tournament.
David Hanes: 3♠3♥
John Vournas: 9♦9♠
Hanes had run into set-over-set at one of the worst possible times and had one out to save his tournament life.
Unfortunately for him, neither the turn 7♣, nor the river K♠ was the 3♣ he needed, and Hanes' misfortune brought raucous applause from the remaining 153 players, who were all now in the money.

Eliminado |
Just 154 players remain, with the next elimination being the final one to go home short of the money.
Play is now hand-for-hand with two minutes being taken off the clock for each hand played until the bubble bursts.
Ethan Siemiesz raised in early position to 11,000 before it folded to John Vasher on the button. Vasher put in approximately 60,000, putting himself at risk. Siemiesz called.
John Vasher: A♦A♣
Ethan Siemiesz: J♦J♣
Siemiesz seemed unbothered by the situation when the hands were turned up, he mentioned he had been two outed earlier and was due to win one. Without a delay the 10♣J♥2♦ flop took the wind out of Vasher's sails and neither the 6♠ on the turn, nor the 6♦ on the river provided any help for the shorter stack.

Picking action up on the flop with about 40,000 in the middle and a board of 8♦4♥8♠, Wade Warren checked his small blind to his opponent in early position, who bet 30,000.
Warren came back with a big all-in raise, covering his opponent's roughly 200,000 chip stack, and after a couple of minutes got a call.
Warren showed 4♠4♣ for a flopped full house, while his opponent showed J♣J♦ for an overpair.
Following the 2♣2♦ runout, the massive pot was shipped to Warren who now has one of the largest stacks in the room.

As we approached the money bubble reigning champion Katie Kopp was forced all in by the mandatory post of the big blind. Consequently, Michael Liang limped on the button and Mario Romera completed out of the small blind putting Kopp at risk.
The board ran out A♣K♠J♦10♥3♦ as both Romera and Liang checked down on every street.
Liang was first to table K♣2♦ for second pair which was good enough to beat both Romera's Jx6x and Kopp's 8♠4♦.
The back-to-back bracelet dream for Kopp was over as she busts two players away from the money.

With the pot standing at approximately 63,000 as the board read 4♣8♠A♦8♣8♦ Charles Nguyen in early position bet 23,000 sending his opponent in the middle position into the tank.
After much deliberation, the in-position player finally folded face up showing 4♠4♥. Weary the 8♦ may have caused his full house some counterfeit issues, Nguyen won this pot.

Kevin McFadden: 7♣8♥
Big Blind: 10♦3♣
The big blind player was dead to a runner runner chop and the 2♦6♦ turn and river gave McFadden a full double.

This summer, hundreds of thousands of players will pass through the doors of the newly-renovated Horseshoe Las Vegas, formerly known as Bally’s. For the second year in a row, the venue will play host to the annual World Series of Poker (WSOP).
As players pack the casino for the 54th annual WSOP, many of them will saunter by a lavish steakhouse. For some, it’ll be just another restaurant, maybe one they’ll attend to celebrate a bracelet win, but for others, they’ll recognize the name on the sign, the man responsible for poker’s premier event – Jack Binion.
Now 86 years old, Binion is a titan of the gaming industry and the son of casino magnate Benny Binion. Together, they launched the WSOP back in 1970 at Binion’s Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas. Over the next four decades, Jack Binion would go on to change not only the poker landscape but also the casino industry throughout the United States. Along the way, he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame and became an icon of the game.
