"February $50,000" (Day 2): Koppel Eliminated, Field Now On The Money Bubble

"February $50,000"
$250 No Limit Hold'em | $50,000 GTD
Level 16 (Blinds 2,000/4,000/500)
Total Entries: 216
Players Remaining: 23

After Adam Koppel (Wellington, FL) opened from early position (with just over ten bigs behind), Tony Ruberto three-bet to 35,000 (from the button).  Both blinds released their hands, and Koppel four-bet shoved for a total of 60,000.  Ruberto quickly made the call, and the two would be racing, with Koppel's J♠ J against Ruberto's A♠ K.  The flop would bring an ace, and without a jack on the turn or river, Adam would be eliminated just two spots short of the money.

Play then entered hand-for-hand, which has been going on for about twenty minutes.  Michael Marks was the most recent player at risk, but managed to spike and ace with A10, against the K♠ K♣ of Marcin Plewinski.
