turn was revealed, and Hellmuth bet 100,000, Berkey shoved in.

The clock was stopped when it was time for the latest move from the five-handed table with 25 minutes left in the level, and a discussion ensued regarding how to handle play moving forward.
The players asked if they could play nine handed, or go hand for hand, to avoid players stalling on the final table bubble.
Since the feature table is only built for eight-handed play, going nine handed was not an option and the decision was made to go hand for hand.
Jason Mercier jammed over a Bryn Kenney open and Kenney called.
It was the ultimate cooler with Kenney holding the over Mercier's
. Aces held on an
board.
With that, the eight handed final table is set, but they will play on, now on the money bubble.
