Hand for hand didn't last long as the Event 9 bubble was over before it really even started, as an unknown player that Nick Palma referred to as "Brian" was all-in in the big blind with one big blind.
A player in late position would raise the action and after the table folded, would table [Kh][Qc].
Brian was hoping for an Ace, but he'd look at his first card to expose the [3d], dejected, he'd flip over the other to reveal another three, the [3s] for a pocket pair.
Brian was "half chance" as he would put it to win the pot and save his tournament life, but that chance turned to just over zero as the [Kd][Ac][Qh] flop came down, leaving Brian just two cards to hit his set and stay alive.
He wouldn't and after a dejected Brian walked away from the table, the rest of the Event 9 field celebrated as they are officially "in the money" with everyone guaranteed at least a $688 score.
