Four players were eliminated in one hand on the bubble so it is unclear who was the bubble boy. One of the players that was eliminated in that hand was Kevin Ruscitti.
Brett Reichard raised to 12,000 in early position and Kevin Ruscitti three-bet to 60,000 which folded all other action and Reichard called.
The flop came out and Reichard checked as Ruscitti continued for 60,000. Reichard raised to 150,000 and Rossini moved all-in for 340,000 and Reichard snap-called.
Kevin Ruscitti:
Brett Reichard:
The flopped set of Reichard held as Ruscitti left the tournament area and within minutes an announcement was made that all remaining 251 players had made the money
