On the third round of hand-for-hand, Leonid Shteyn’s As3d was sent to the rail via Cesar Fuentes’ 7h6h. It appeared Shteyn was all-in preflop while Fuentes and two other opponents battled it out for a side pot. The flop was 6s5h4c and Fuentes bet with a pair of sixes. His opponents folded and it wasn’t until then than Shteyn saw the bad news. The turn and river were the 8h and Qs and Shteyn was officially the tournament’s bubble boy.

Fuentes now leads the way with the final 36 players in the money and guaranteed at least $395.
