On the third hand of the bubble, Arkadiy opened to 15,000 from under the gun and Jake Dollinger called on the button. Corey Thompson moved all in from small blind for 30,000, Tsinis reshipped for 91,000 and Dollinger folded.

Tsinis:
Thompson:

Thompson was in great shape for a bubble double but Tsinis paired his ace on the flop. The turn and river finished the board and Thompson was eliminated on the bubble.

Arkadiy Tsinis – 148,000 (25 bb)

After Peter Vitantonio opened and Brad Albrinck raised from the button, John McNulty cold four-bet jammed for 59,500 from the big blind. Vitantonio reshipped to get a fold from Albrinck.

Vitantonio:
McNulty:

McNulty was in trouble with his out kicked ace and Vitantonio moved further ahead on the flop. The board finished turn and river to send McNulty out near the money bubble.

Meanwhile, at another table, it looks like A.J. Kelsall has taken the lead in the tournament and having a good with 547,500 sitting out front.

The $2,200 High Roller was sent on break no long after it reached the last four tables of the tournament. With the stacks getting deeper, we expect play to slow down as they near the money bubble.

Steven Veneziano looks like the current leader with 340,000 heading into Level 16 and they should hit the money before too long.

A peek around the last few tables found WSOP and WPT Champion James Calderaro, five-time WSOP Circuit ring winner (and Event 5 champ) Arkadiy Tsinis, Las Vegas WSOPC High Roller winner Brett Apter, and Foxwoods WSOPC High Roller champ Brock Wilson among the many talented players still in the game.
