Action was slow nearing the money bubble until it wasn’t. Then things went a little sideways and it took a few minutes to get straight before cards went back in the air.

With 43 remaining and 41 getting paid, tournament staff were waiting for one player to be eliminated to begin hand-for-hand. But four players busted out at the same time around the room to suddenly put the field into the money with a little controlled chaos.

Ken O’Donnell, Luke Brereton, Toby Boas, and David Tuthill were all eliminated at the same time to quickly drop the field to 39 and they chopped the bottom two spots.

40th: Luke Brereton – $1,493
41st: Toby Boas – $1,493
42nd: Ken O’Donnell – $1,492
43rd: David Tuthill – $1,492
