Level 17: 2,000/4,000 with a 500 ante
Players Remaining: 33 of 318

Only two hands were needed to burst the money bubble and we almost had two go out at the same time.

Joelle Guarino opened the action on her table and called after Bryce McVay moved all in from the small blind. That hand was anticlimactic when they both rolled over AQ for a chopped pot.

On a neighboring table, a player open-shoved for 25,000 from the cutoff and Chris Halkitis called in the big blind to put him at risk.

Halkitis: AcKs
Cutoff: AsQc

Halkitis held the dominating hand and the dealer kept it low on the 7s5h2s4h7h board to put the field in the money.
