With the Main Event two eliminations away from making the money, tournament staff prepared to begin hand-for-hand play on the bubble. They asked dealers to hold up after the current hand and stand up.

That last hand was a big one on Table 12. When we showed up, there were three hands face up the unlike battled of AdAc versus KhKd versus QhQd. Robert Pollmeier was in the sweet spot with rockets, Jeff Morzella had the kings, and the Matthew Higgins had the queens.

Pollmeier had the other two players covered and scored the double knockout when the board came Td9h6c7d3c. That hand negated the need for hand-for-hand play and the remaining 175 players were in the money.

They played out the last 14:55 of the level and players were sent on the first break of the day.

Jeff Pollmeier – 260,000 (52 bb)
Jeff Morzella – Eliminated
Matthew Higgins – Eliminated
