We're afraid we missed Siamak Tahmoresnia busting in 162nd place - it's absolute chaos here, with players apparently not required to stay in their seats, and therefore stampeding towards any table where an all-in-and-call has been declared, knocking over drinks, side tables and each other in the process. Anyway, after more than an hour of this hand-for-hand, we are finally on the actual bubble. We thought it was all over when Jozef Bartalos got it in on a 10 10 6 flop against Eden Azulay; after a torturous seven or eight minutes waiting for the TD to clarify over his iphone that all hands across both floors had been completed, the cards were revealed:
Azulay: A Q for overcards
Bartalos: J 9 for a very speculative draw, at absolute best
Turn: Q
River: 8
Bartalos' miracle straight came in, as Azulay's friends bellowed at him in Hebrew that hadn't they called it on the J8, J9, I told you so etc etc, and we continue on the bubble.
