There’s always a lot of activity come bubble time, and a few short stacks have doubled in the past 30 minutes while a few other players have lost big chunks of their stack to the point that surviving the bubble is now in question.

Some impressions on the tables we’ve been looking at:

  1. TJ Ulmer has notched up the aggression considerably and has chipped up accordingly, and has won his pots almost entirely before showdown.
  2. Brian Yoon is also playing quite a few hands, and made a pretty sick pot-sized value bet a few minutes ago holding just a 7-high flush.
  3. Alexandre Lavigne lost half his stack when he tried to take a pot with a healthy bet on the river only to be check called by his opponent, who held pocket 9s (good for middle pair considering the board that had run out).

Just 95 players remain in the tournament.
