Kohlberg calls with [KhKs], and Lavoie turns over [AdQd]. Lavoie needs to improve to stay alive.

The board comes [Jc8d8s6c7c], and Kohlberg wins the pot with his pocket kings to eliminate Lavoie on the Money Bubble.

Curt Kohlberg  –  788,000  (78 bb)
Michael Lavoie  –  Eliminated

Both Michael Lavoie and Nick Schulman (who was at a different table) were eliminated on the final hands of the level that extended into the dinner break.

In fact, a lot of the remaining players left for dinner when there were still 38 players remaining, two spots away from the money. When they return, they’ll learn that the Money Bubble burst before hand-for-hand play could even begin.

The remaining 36 players are all guaranteed at least $30,085 each.
