Kevin Cunningham was just eliminated by Jason Nablo, and we're officially on the money bubble. No talks of paying the bubble yet, so this may be a true money bubble unlike yesterday's Event #1.

Andy Spears had an awful level, eventually losing the last of his chips in a preflop confrontation with Jason Nablo. Spears' 
couldn't outrun Nablo's 
, ending his tournament life in 17th place.
Tom Maher was sent packing moments later, leaving us with 16 players.
With 18 players remaining we're only six spots away from reaching the money in Event #2. The top 12 finishers will pocket at least $1,005, with the eventual winner earning $14,364. Some of the area's top talent is still in contention, so this should be a fun night of poker.

Back in 10.
Jimmy Thomson is dominating over at Table 6. He opened to 7,000 from early position and Carol Leonardi three-bet to 15,000 from the small blind. Thomas called, and the flop rolled out 
. Leonardi checked and Thomson pushed a tall stack of T5,000 chips into the middle, effectively putting Leonardi all in. She quickly called.
Thomson:
Leonardi: 
Leonardi's ace-high was in front, but the 
on the turn swayed the favor to Thomson's side. The 
completed the board, and Leonardi playfully fired some expletives before leaving the table.
