Ruben Busts Aces to Burst the Bubble
With 360 players remaining and 359 getting paid, the tournament had entered the hand-by-hand portion.
Action was picked up after the 
flop. The under-the-gun player moved all in, with an effective stack of 77,000. Brad Ruben, fresh off winning his fourth WSOP bracelet in Event #4: $1,500 Dealer's Choice 6-Handed, made the call.
At this point, the table had to freeze as tournament directors ensured all tables were in sync and players were busted in the proper order to ensure proper payout. After a few minutes of waiting, the tournament directors gave the go ahead, and the players flipped their hands.

Ruben had outflopped his opponent with the set, but still needed to dodge out cards in order to burst the bubble. The board ran out 
, providing no help to his opponent.
With that knockout, the field was whittled down to 359, officially bursting the bubble. The remaining players will all take home a minimum cash of $2,405.
