The 7 players still in the action were not going anywhere. For more than 3 levels, no one got sent to the rail. There were always two or three short stacks, but all their all-ins and/or their shoves went their way and they stayed in play.
With the 6th place bringing in a hefty $8,500 cash prize, no one wanted to leave with empty hands in 7th position. There were a few discussions that took place, about maybe taking some cash from the 6th place and making a “bubble”, but there was no agreement to be had.
Chris Rho, who’s been an almost permanent fixture in this Playground Power Weekend, was sitting on a micro stack for far too many hands. He got lucky and found some chips in some nice spots, but the players were obviously targeting him for the bubble spot. In the end, his luck ran out. Holding 
he was all-in against two other players. David St-Louis was holding 
and mega chip leader Nirvair Sandhu was holding 
. For the last hour, Sandhu was being very careful not to give his chips to the shorter stacks, so when he stayed in the hand everyone knew it was not with air. The queen on the board 
sealed Rho’s fate and he was sent to the rail in the bubble position.
As soon as Chris left the table, Tomislav Pavkovic forfeited his stack and took 6th position, and $8,500.
Congratulations to the 5 winners of a buy-in to the MILLIONS North America Main Event this May!
