Event 5: Bubble Burst

$600 + $60 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)     

After Mike Melkersen opened for 30k, the player on his left moved in for 42k total.  Everyone else folded and Mike called.

The all-in player was ahead with pocket Kings.  Mike held AK of hearts.

The flop was benign and rainbow, but Mike picked up a flush-draw on the turn.

Then the ubiquitous Ace on the river gave Mike the bigger pair and the pot.  His opponent, who asked to remain anonymous, became this event's bubble-boy.

They played almost an entire level of hand-for-hand, so some time was added back to the clock.

27 players remain and all are guaranteed at least $1,241.
