An extraordinarily long two hour bubble has ended. Sam Taylor went with 
on a shrinking stack, but Jeffrey Colpitts probably literally woke up with kings.
Colpitts holds, and Taylor flies out of the room, the very unfortunate unpaid 19th place. Jeffrey bags a nice 396,000 for the third highest total.
Frank Funaro finishes with 481,000 to lead Day 1.
Dever takes 417,000 but was the real star of the bubble, taking advantage of passive table 2 and doubling through small pots.
Official counts and seating will be posted when available.
Day two players should gather at noon on Saturday in Poker Room.

Laury doubles through Funaro just before hand for hand begins, turning top set filling up. Funaro tries to talk it out but has enough to call, evening their two big stacks around 300,000 each.
The bubble is almost broke when short stack Chris Lim gets it with 
against , but he too finds the set.
An hour long bubble has since commenced. David Laury and Funaro have battled a bit, including one spot where Laury bet three bet a paired board and Funaro snap folded.
Later, Funaro gets a bit back, able to value bet 40,000 on the end with a disguised top pair.
Kuey gets in a river raise on a four flush but his opponent is able to get away from the 4th nuts after a tank.
Kuey, foreground, torments his opponent with a big raise on 10hjs8s5s9s.
Dever has done well with the bubble, raising actively, but just got a bluff picked off. She’s going to bag an above average stack, in all likelihood.
Several players are closing their eyes and trying to rest as hand for hand goes on for more than an hour and a half – so far.

No one has busted over several orbits. With no player under twenty big blinds, the field is looking to fade this bubble through patient play.
Michael Menzer, an early big stack, is taken aback by this turn bet/3bet.
Still, Menzer goes with it, effectively beaten by only a few hands. Relief – it’s a chop as both players have top two on 
.

Xingang Wang is nearly freerolling, somehow coming back from a couple blinds and now just another average stack looking to bag.
Natale Kuey will defend his big and take it down on the river against a now departed oppponent.
Natale is now on 1, where Sherrier finally had to make a stand, unfortunately choosing a rough opponent for his – the .
He’s out and we’re four off the money.

It wasn’t going to be easy for Rowen with Laury and now Funaro on his direct left on table three. Up and down for several levels now, Eric now found another spot against one of his two antagonists.
Rowen started the pot by limping, and Funaro in position isolated him to 8500. Only Rowen made the call.
The flop came 
, and the action went check bet call for 10,000. On the turn it seemed to be a tricky card for Funaro, the 
, which might certainly have improved a limp calling range. Nevertheless, Frank now went 27,000 into nearly 40,000, a big bet. Rowen didn’t hesitate to call him, despite Frank now threatening stacks. Clearly this could be a tournament changing pot for one of them.
Funaro prepares to jam over the lead from Rowen, at left.
The river wasn’t particularly relevant, the 
. 
was already there, and maybe only improved an 
. Rowen now briefly took the play away from Frank, leading for small 35,000. Frank took a little time and then jammed for Eric’s last 75,000.
Rowen knew it wasn’t a great situation, even if it didn’t seem to make a lot of sense. Eric wouldn’t make a decision until time was called. Frank showed a surprise 
for the second nut straight, while Eric had slow played an unlucky which had smashed the flop and looked to trap an ace.
Tough spot for Rowen, who is out. Frank moves to over 450,000 and has the clear tournament lead.
We’re at four tables and six spots from the money.
