The Bubble Has Burst
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
We are now in the money here in Event 8, and the remaining 129 players are all assured of earning at least $742 for their performance.
The bubble bursting moment was less dramatic than most, as the tournament clock showed 132 players left and hand for hand play ended. Tournament staff then conducted a count of the room, and determined that their clock was mistaken, and suddenly we were in the money without a bustout having to occur.
