Billy Pappas Eliminated on Final Table of Bubble (11th Place)

A player under the gun raises to 12,000, Seunghwan Lee raises to 24,000 in middle position, and Billy Pappas shoves all in for around 90,000 on the button.  

The original raiser folds, and Lee goes into the tank. After nearly two minutes, he tosses in a chip to call and turns over [Qc][Qd]. 

"Come on man, you are better than that.  We are six handed and you have queens...that's a snap call," Pappas says as he turns over [9h][9s].

The flop comes [qh][4c][8h], and Pappas walks away from the table.  The turn is the [5h].

The river is the [4h], giving Pappas a flush, but also pairing the board, and giving Lee  a full house. 

Pappas is eliminated in 11th place, and the remaining players will redraw for their new seats at the unofficial final table. 

Event #9 - On Final Table Bubble - Andrew Heckman Still In

There are 11 players remaining, meaning we are on the bubble of the unofficial final table of ten. 

Andrew Heckman who won Event #7 yesterday is still in, and has a big chip stack.  Billy Pappas is also still in. 

We will bring you the full final ten redraw with chip counts when 10 players remain.
