Fisher and Dopico Share the Bubble

Robert Fisher was forced all in from the big blind as he literally had a chip and a chair with a solitary yellow 1,000 chip. Everyone folded apart from the small blind Vern Soeldner who was forced to call.

Robert Fisher: 6♠4♥
Vern Soeldner: K♠10♠

Fisher's thin hopes of making the cash increased after hitting a four on the 9♥4♦3♦ flop. The 5♦ did not change anything, but the 10♥ on the river gave Soeldner top pair and Fisher was eliminated.

At a nearby table, David Whittemore opened to 12,000 and called once William Dopico moved all in for 98,000.

William Dopico: Q♣Q♦
David Whittemore: A♥K♦

After the action was held up, Dopico survived the 7♥6♥5♠ flop. Whittemore then hit the A♦ turn, with the K♥ river only improving his holding to eliminate Dopico.

Fisher and Dopico were eliminated together, chopping the min cash for 469th place while leaving the rest of the field in the money.
