Blinds are starting to get up there as the money bubble looms. Brad Koegel brought the field one player closer to the bubble with the elimination of Un Chu in 65th place.
With all the chips in the middle preflop, Un Chu found herself at risk with 88 from the big blind. She would have to fade the world up against Brad Koegel's and Christopher Akin's suited over cards. The flop immediately delivered top pair to Koegel. Koegel would not only hold but also improve on the end to secure an elimination and full double up through Akin.
Christopher Akin, LJ: A♥5♥
Brad Koegel, BN: K♦Q♦
Un Chu, BB: 8♠8♣
Board: Q♥T♣6♦7♣Q♠
64 players remain with 59 players making the money. The min cash is set at $340 and 1st place will take home $18,510 on the $250 buyin kickoff event!
