With one spot away from everyone in Bally's ballroom making the money, Hector Chevalier and Kenneth Brennan played for stacks preflop. Chevalier had slightly less chips, and was the player at risk.
Hector Chevalier:
Kenneth Brennan:
The table was surrounded by people trying to follow the action, and share in the bubble excitement. When the board ran out , the suited ace of Brennan was only good for middle pair while Chevalier scooped with a flopped top pair.
Chevalier raised his fist in the air and pointed at Brennan saying, "He deserves it!".

An early position player bet 20,000 and was met with an all-in from Bob Kraut in middle position. Tina Luong looked pained in her decision-making before reluctantly folding.
Julien Sitbon on the small blind went all in for 72,000 which was shallower than Kraut's shove. The early position stood up and folded face up .
Julien Sitbon:
Bob Kraut:
Whilst the players were waiting for the tournament directors to arrive, Luong revealed that she folded and Kraut replied "I didn't want to hear that."
There was no help for Kraut on a double paired board of and the Frenchman residing in London survives the bubble and secures at least a minimum cash.

The PokerNews team was called over to a table with a three-way all in. Anthony Mccurdy was in the big blind and at risk with his remaining 20,000. Charles Odenz re-jammed for 220,000 and was called next to act by Lance Goodman who only had 10,000 more than Odenz. The hands were tabled.

Johnnie "Vibes" Moreno was all-in and at risk against Alex Hua, who had the bigger stack and said he would gamble.
Johnnie "Vibes" Moreno:
Alex Hua:
"You call that a gamble?! That's not a gamble," Moreno cried when he saw he was dominated.
The flop came to give Moreno a big lead with a pair of kings, but the on the turn pushed Hua far ahead with a superior pair. The on the river didn't change things and Moreno was eliminated shortly after making the money.
