We're In the Money!

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

The money bubble just burst and our unlucky bubble boy was Paul Dewald.

As hand for hand play was going on, Dewald and Eric Hettinga ended up all in preflop.

Dewald: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Hettinga: {Q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Hettinga doubled to 107,000 while Dewald was left with 1,800 in chips.

On the next hand, Dewald put his tournament life at risk with the {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and was up against Melanie Weisner's {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and Dewald was eliminated from the tournament just short of making the money.

With a number of short stacks who snuck through the bubble, we expect to see a lot more action during this level.
