Ivan Yatsuk

Flight B went a little longer than Flight A and they made it into Level 16 before the money bubble burst. And when it did, it was not boring.

On Table 21, the cutoff player jammed with his short stack and the button called. Lawrence Cowsar in the small blind reshipped from the small blind for 166,000. The big blind player decided to come along for the ride and the button folded for a three-way all in.

Cowsar: AsAh
Small Blind: KcKd
Cutoff: AcJh

A huge blind v blind spot with Cowsar having both players covered. The board ran out 9h7s4d2hAd and Cowsar sent two players out on the bubble.

But wait, there’s more. Chris Perry was also all in on Table 11 facing elimination with JsJh against KhQc. It was a race to start but Perry found a favorite JcJd6h flop to make quads and lock up a bubble double in a hurry.

Ivan Yatsuk bagged the overall lead with 563,000 followed by Savahn Steadman with 508,000 and Antoinette Fiorezna’s 445,000. Flight A’s bubble Jim Collins had a strong bounceback and finished with 415,000.

We will post the entire list of chip counts as soon as they are available.
