Event 2: No Bubble!

$300 + $50 NLH (1 Re-entry)

As "G" the floor man directs dealers that hand-for-hand play will start the next hand, three players are all-in at three different tables. Two of the three are eliminated, while Mike "The Nose" Castaldo (Palisades, NY) survives to make the money.

The two eliminated players reduces the field to 54 and all remaining players cash for a minimum of $605 and erases the need for a bubble.

The field played one more hand before going on break. Play resumes with Level 15 (2k/4k/400 ante), with the average stack at 96k.
