Halfway Through the Main Event – the Bubble has Bursted
On 13th July, the fourth day of the World Series of Poker Main Event, 747 players could let out a huge sigh, being the ones profiting from this year’s Main Event.
Having started with 7,319 entrants, the Main Event will run for four more days in July, and continue with the 9 remaining players in November.
This year’s bubble boy was Tim McDonald, who, at the moment of his elimination, was applauded by 747 poker players, most of whom madly started shaking hands as soon as they realized they were finally ITM.
Tim McDonald was not left without compensation: he has secured himself a free entry for the 2011 Main Event.
Tournament Director Jack Effel was the one to congratulate Tim
"Let's give a nice warm round of applause to Tim McDonald. Because of you Tim, 747 players are now all in the money. You, my friend, have an automatic $10,000 entry into the 2011 WSOP Main Event on behalf of the World Series of Poker” said Effel.
McDonald got busted by going all in with a pocket pair, Queens, on an AA2 flop. He quickly got called, and it turned out that his opponent was check-calling with A2. „Nice hand” said McDonald, as he immediately started packing.
