Two players bust in equal 1085th place. As the stone cold bubble boy gets a free seat at next year's WSOP Main Event. Quan Zhou, who had tried to run a 376K river bluff past Davidi Kitai on the bubble won the extra hand to get the better of Roger Campbell who leaves empty handed.
There were four all-ins and calls on the hand for hand. All the other hands played out normally then the hands with players at risk were played in front of the ESPN cameras. Both Tex Barch and Jason Funke managed to double up with their tournament life at risk, but the other two went out
Quan as mentioned above tried a big bluff on Kitai, but as the Belgian had a full house it was a formality when the cards were turned over that he was out.
Campbell got it all in on an all hearts flop holding the bare ace, unfortunately for him, Kenny Shih had Q-10 of hearts, and without a heart on the turn or the river, his main event was done too.
Jeff Del Castilho was very thankful that the bubble burst promptly. He didn't need a very big bag at the end of the night, as his "stack" consisted of just two yellow 1000 chips, equivalent to just two antes. Those chips are worth $7500 each to him as he has now min-cashed for a cool $15000.
