$150 No Limit Hold'em

$50,000 GTD

Level 17 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/6,000)

Total Entries: 754

Players Remaining: 72

For a brief moment, Daniel Chlimper became everyone's favorite player in the field, eliminating Mark Bernstein, after what would be a bubble that last close to an hour.

After close to twenty hands of hand-for-hand play, and numerous short stacks surviving all-ins, the field is now in the money.  We approached Table 13 at the appropriate time, as three players were on a flop of A♠ K♣ 4♣.  Daniel Chlimper sat with a bet of 33,000 in front of him, and as we walked over, Mark Bernstein announced himself all-in (for 87,000).  The third player in the hand folded, and Chlimper made the call, with the cards then finding their backs:

Chlimper: A♣ 7♣ (top pair with flush draw)

Bernstein: A♦ Q♥ (top pair, better kicker)

Turn: 2♣ 

River: 5♣

Bersntein would be drawing dead on the turn, and end up the $150 No Limit Hold'em ($50,000 GTD) event's "bubble boy." Players took a (15) minute break after the elimination, with cards now back in the air in Level 17 (with 16 minute remaining).
