David Paredes eliminated in 22nd place

Busted the @FoxwoodsPoker main in 22nd for a mini-cash. Happy at not bubbling, mad at myself for a relatively trivial fold for my bust out

Photos from the bubble

The chip leader's stack on the bubble -- over a million!

Je Wook Oh angrily mucks his [Th][Td] after he runs into his opponent's [Ad][Ac]

Championship Event is now in the money

Two short stacks on the outer table were all in, the slightly larger stack holding [8h][8d] to the smaller stack's [Qh][Qd].  Luck was not on the side of the shorter stack, as the flop fell [8c][5c][2s], and no queen fell on the [4s] turn or [9h] river.  With that elimination, the remaining 24 players are now in the money.

After a minute more of play, those players are now on a 15 minute break.  When they return, blinds will be 4,000/8,000 with a 1,000 ante.

Championship Event is now on the bubble

We are now hand for hand as the field has been trimmed to the final 25 players.  The top 24 will make the money, so the next person out will be the unfortunate "Bubble Boy" while the rest will lock in a cash of at least $6,850.

Joseph McKeehen has been eliminated

Out 4 from the money aa<k8. Cool story

Small controversy causes the clock to get paused

There was a small controversy on one of the outer tables, and the tournament clock was paused to resolve it.  Apparently a player had moved all in and another player was in the tank.  He had said something to the effect of, "Call the clock on me" as he was taking too long.  Multiple other players heard "call" and the dealer instructed him to show his hand.  He did, the cards were dealt out, and he lost the pot.

After the hand, he objected to being forced to call the all-in, as he explained he was telling the players they were free to call a clock on him.  Unfortunately, his protests came too late as the board had run out and the pot had been pushed.  That player is now crippled with only a few players to go until the money bubble hits.

Event #21 is in the money

With the elimination of our 37th place finisher, Event #21 is in the money.  The remaining 36 players are now guaranteed at least $588.  

Players are now on dinner break

The 35 remaining players are now on their 1 hour and 15 minute dinner break.  Play will resume at approximately 7:45pm, and the blinds will be 2,500/5,000 with a 500 ante.
