Igor Kurganov raised to 18,000 under the gun and action folded to the short-stacked Sam Greenwood in the big blind. He waited for action to finish on the other two tables before moving all in for 47,000 total. Kurganov thought about it before releasing his hand, presumably so he can continue to punish the bubble.

Koon tanked long and hard, double checked his cards twice, and eventually folded.
"Show one Ollie" Chance Kornuth said with a smile. "For all your fans on the rail" Jason Les added. Price showed the and raked in the pot.
The clock has expired on Level 15, but the blinds will remain 4,000/8,000/1,000 until the bubble bursts. At that time, the clock will then roll over into Level 16. The dead time during the bubble could certainly make what looks to be a long night even longer.
