Bubble Approaching as Field Shrinks to 13 Players

Level 15: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

The pressure is rising as only 13 players remain in the tournament, and the money bubble is quickly approaching. With just a few eliminations left before the payouts begin, every decision is becoming more crucial.


Among the recent bustouts are John Matsuda and Titov Oleg, both of whom fell short of reaching the final table and a potential payday. The remaining players are now fighting not only for a spot at the final table, but also to avoid becoming the last to leave empty-handed.


Play will continue until we reach the final 9, where the real prize chase begins.
