With 65 players left, shortstack Randy Spain limped the small blind and start-of-day chip leader Farid Jattin promptly piled in a stack of gray. Spain got the last of his roughly 120,000-chips stack in, too, and the hands were face up.

Jattin: 2h2d
Spain: Ac7c

Runout: Qc9h4h3s6c

Randy Spain (middle) bubbles the bubble at the hands of Farid Jattin (right)

Jattin’s deuces held and Spain busted 65th sending the tournament down to the final 64 players and the money bubble.

Before the hand could finish, though, Brandon Caputo and Chad DeBerry finished out a hand a few tables down that would burst the bubble.

The board laid Qc6c4d5s and Caputo check-shoved having DeBerry covered. DeBerry called off and flipped over 5d5h for a set. DeBerry’s 9c5c pair and a flush draw was second best, but he had outs.

River: Jc

Caputo’s flush draw came through and DeBerry was the bubble boy sending the last 63 into the money.
