The players in Event #1 are now in the money as the bubble burst just seconds ago on table 58. This leaves 11 players at the tables, each of whom will earn at least $240 today – and possibly much more!
The fateful hand began with a raise to 20,000 from Brent McCue in early position, which was followed up by Justin Colicchio’s all-in for less than that from the dealer button.

and Raphael started with a check to the raiser – who chose to add 20K to the side pot. It’s not clear if it was fortunate or unfortunate for Brent, but with the action back to Raphael he shoved all-in, sending Brent into the tank with a decision to make. It wasn’t long, though, before he made the fold and Raphael exposed his hole cards: 
for flopped two pairs – well ahead of Justin’s 
– and the turn 
foreclosed on any chance that Justin could catch up.
