Trio Bust in Same Hand to Burst Money Bubble
During hand-for-hand play, whenever there was an all-in and a call, action was paused at the table. In just the second hand of hand-for-hand play, there were four all-ins situations at four different tables, with just one resulting in a double-up.
At the far end of the room, there was all-in action preflop between Andrew Kagan from the small blind and Taus Lilius from the button with Kagan's stack at risk.
Andrew Kagan: 
Taus Lilius: 
Kagan was ahead with his made hand of jacks until the 
flop fell pairing the king of Lilius. The 
turn left Kagan needing the case jack to stay alive but the 
completed the board on the river and ended his tournament.
At another table, Robert McLaughlin was all in for 60,000 with the 
and way ahead of Naor Slobodskoy's 
. However, the board ran out 
for the brutal river beat to send McLaughlin out the door.
Finally, Ran Ilani was all in and racing for his tournament life against Phachara Wongwichit.
Ran Ilani:
Phachara Wongwichit: 
Ilani was looking to improve to stay alive, but that proved easier said than done as the board ran out 
.
Just like that three players hit the rail to burst the money bubble.
