The bubble took more time than expected but after about 2 hours it finally burst. This was supposed to be the end of the level, but after this long bubble it got decided that they will play for another 39 minutes before they all go to a 20 minute break.

The bubble boy of course got sad after busting in 649th position, but to wipe away his tears the WSOP commisioner Jeffrey Pollack gave him the buy-in for next years Main Event for free!

Ramzi Jelassi has gathered 857.000, and he told me that the bubble play was among the most boring time of his poker life ever.

Christian Heich is not far behind with 780.000.

The players will soon start level 17 (3000/6000) and we have 568 players left in the tournament with an average chip stack of 342.000.

Go Ramzi and Heich!
