Event 1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em $125,000 GTD)
Level 20 (Blinds 5,000/10,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 1,301
Players Remaining: 130
With action in the main tournament area, as well as the outer tournament tables (that surround the room), it was a task to cover all of the all-ins over the span of hand-for-hand play. The process lasted (7) hands, which will take (14) minutes off of the tournament clock when play resumes (tournament staff is breaking one table before cards get back in the air).
Patrick Collins (Palm City, FL) assumed he was going to be walking away as the bubble boy, but on the same hand that he was eliminated, a player's stack that never arrived to Day 2 was blinded out. That means that Collins earns half of the min-cash, with the other half going to the absent player.
One player who had an eventful bubble was Charlie Ciresi (Cincinnati, OH), who was all-in at risk twice during the bubble, surviving both hands. His second all-in saw him hitting a one-outer on the river to win, as his K♠ K♣ bested his opponents A♥ Q♥ on a A♦ A♠ 10♣ J♥ K♥ board. Charlie went from a less than ten big blind stack, to a much more manageable 280,000 stack (28 big blinds).
There will be a rush of players to the payout podium over the next (45-60) minutes, with all results posted by pay jump. Coverage will also include the ever important updated chip counts, as well as hand histories as we reach the latter stages of Event 1.
