Three Eliminations on the Bubble
Tom Gottlieb opened 40,000 under the gun, and the cutoff called before Ian Richardson shoved for about 500,000 in the big blind. Gottlieb called off his stack of 230,000 and the cutoff tanked for three minutes before a tablemate called the clock. When the tournament director stuck 0, his hand was killed.
Tom Gottlieb: A♦K♠
Ian Richardson: J♣J♠
The board ran out J♥10♥9♣8♣8♠, giving Richardson a full house to eliminate Gottlieb.
At another table
Wen Hong open jammed from the cutoff for 55,000. Jason Wheeler in the big blind called off the bet and Hong was at risk.
Wen Hong: A♠Q♣
Jason Wheeler: 8♦6♦
The board ran out 8♣8♥7♠6♠Q♠. A full house for Wheeler was enough to send Hong home on the bubble.
However, there was an elimination on a third table at the same time, eliminating all three players, and there were 174 players remaining before the hand so all three split the minimum cash of $2,400.
