Manig Loeser got his chips in before the flop with but was in bad shape as his opponent Brandon Adams had . The board ran out and Loeser had already said his goodbyes by the time the turn had hit. Down to 11 players.
For a long time, Cate Hall was the shortest player in the field. She did not bubble however, as Claas Segebrecht busted in a blind battle so Hall made the money.
She chopped with a dominated ace making a shared straight on the river, but not much later she ran out of luck anyway.
Ryan D'Angelo raised to 22,000 and saw Cate Hall behind her shove for 72,000. Action folded back around to D'Angelo who did not hesitate before he called.
Ryan D'Angelo:
Cate Hall:

The tournament organization has decided to unpause the clock and continue on to level 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000-ante. If the end of this level is reached without the bubble having burst, the clock will be paused again.
The level was supposed to go up to 5,000/10,000 with a 1,000-ante, but the tournament organization has decided to pause the clock while the bubble is going on. So still 4,000/8,000 with a 1,000-ante.
