On the ninth round of hand-for-hand on the bubble, James Kerr opened to 14,000 from the cutoff and Robert Lebeau folded his button. The small blind moved all in for 119,000 to get a fold from the big blind and call from Kerr after a few minutes to think about it.

Small Blind:

The small blind player was in good shape for a double, faded the flop but Kerr picked up a diamond draw. The small blind turned a wheel on the turn but Kerr made his flush on the river to send him out.

The Championship pumped the brakes after the previous break in the action, losing only a handful of players with the deep stacks and slow structure. The average stack is 53 big blinds so they can settle in for the grind to the money.

Marsha Wolak is making the most of her time and the lone female representative in the field after Nadya Magnus and Yan Jiang were eliminated. The pickleball national champ (and 2011 WSOP Ladies bracelet winner) is having a good day so far and up to 254,500 while looking for another deep run after her third place finish in Event 1.
