Aaron Thivyanathan

Other than a small double up on the first hand, the bubble process took a good chunk of the tournament clock two minutes at a time.

Eight hands later, there was another all-in and this time there were two calls. Aaron Thivyanathan was forced at risk for his last 8,000 in the big blind and Tony Delacruz and Ivan Freitez were the two live players.

The flop came 8h6c2s, Delacruz bet 20,000 and Freitez called. Both players checked the Jd turn and the river was 3h. Delacruz bet 45,000 to get a fold from Freitez and Delacruz showed TdTh.

Thivyanathan slow peeled his yet unseen cards and the best he could find was 4s2d for a pair of deuces. He was eliminated in 103rd place and the rest of the field was in the money.
