Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Talbert Bell got it all into the middle for around 60,000 and Mike Zulker was the lone caller in late position.

Talbert Bell: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Mike Zulker: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Zulker flopped a queen to eliminate Bell and burst the bubble. All 48 remaining players are now guaranteed a min-cash of $2,312.

Elsewhere across the room, Mark Birdsall is all smiles as he locks in a trip to the payout window after showing up for Day 2 with just 10,000. He ran it up to around 90,000 to start the day, which was enough to take him across the bubble line.

Fritzer Lays One Down

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Rip Fritzer raised to 30,000 and Rich Alsup three-bet shoved from late position with Fritzer covered.

Fritzer went into the tank and contemplated the approaching bubble.

"This might be the worst fold in history," Fritzer said, as he mucked {q-}{q-} to give Alsup the pot.

"What did you have?" he asked Alsup.

"I'll tell you when we aren't at the same table."

Wendroff Scores Back-to-Back Busts

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Steve Wendroff
Steve Wendroff

Day 1c chip leader Steve Wendroff is leaping up the leaderboard after back-to-back busts.

In the first hand, Charly Peterson raised to 38,000 from early position and Wendroff shoved behind with Peterson covered. Peterson thought for a moment but called with his last 100,000.

Charly Peterson: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Steve Wendroff: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades} and the queens held to score Wendroff a big early double.

Moments later, a big pot was building and Nick Grippo fired 15,000 at a {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs} board. Wendroff called from late position and the turn was {q-Clubs}.

Grippo shoved the turn and Wendroff called quickly, turning over {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for the Broadway straight. Grippo had {4-}{4-}, and the river {7-Diamonds} brought no help. Wendroff scored another knockout to move above the 600K mark in the first moments of Day 2.
