There was no long, drawn out bubble play in this tournament, only two hands to get things moving.

On the second round of hand-for-hand, we had a quick go on Table 43 when Ryan Snow had Donald Mathews all in at risk for his last 26,000. Then they had to wait while the other tables finished up their action before running it out.

On Table 21, Gary Bowker was facing a 31,000 bet from Scott Dobbs with the board reading and he raised to 110,000 from the button. Dobbs called, the river was , and Dobbs checked. Bowker looked at the stacks and announced “all in”. Dobbs called at risk for his ~120,000 and saw the bad news.

Bowker flopped a queen-high straight, improved to a king-high straight on the river, and it was good against top-top to send Dobbs out on the bubble.

Back to Table 43, Snow was in great shape with against Mathews’ and the run out sent Mathews out on the bubble as well.

Since Dobbs and Mathews were eliminated on the same hand at separate tables, they chopped up 96th place money.

Gary Bowker – 890,000 (111 bb)
Ryan Snow – 272,000 (34 bb)
Donald Mathews – Eliminated in 96th place ($2,122)
Scott Dobbs – Eliminated in 97th place ($2,121)
