Immediately after the bubble burst, Matt Wakeman, the $5,000 Challenge champion, was eliminated.

Tristan Bain was the player who sent him to the rail and Bain explained the details of the hand. According to Bain he opened with a raise and Wakeman called in the big blind.

The flop came down {8-}{8-}{7-} and Wakeman checked. Bain put out a quarter pot-sized bet and Wakeman check-raised to 28,000. Bain went all in and Wakeman called.

Wakeman was holding {J-}{7-} for two pair, but was drawing slim as Bain flopped trips with {J-}{8-}. The turn and river were bricks and Wakeman was sent home in 30th place. For his run he'll take down $2,668.

Bain is now one of the biggest stacks in the room with over 300,000 chips.
