Michael O’Neill busted virtually invisibly pretty much as soon as players returned from the break leaving 50 remaining, the money at 47. Michael Kane narrowly avoided busting in 50th when his Ad Kh came good against Mari Nitteberg’s Ks Kc on a 3h Ah 4d 3d 4s board, instead doubling up to 170k and virtually swapping stacks with Nitteberg who was left with 90k.
David Hudson was not so lucky, however – his 7s 7h fell foul of James O’Sullivan’s 2c 2d on a 3h 6h 2h 3c As board and he was busto in 50th place. We are now on the bubble-bubble, just two spots away from the money.
