Money Bubble of 2015 WSOP Main Event Bursts
Posted by: Jo Martin - Mon, 2015-07-13 08:05
The 3rd day of the
2015 WSOP Main Event saw the field play down right past its money-bubble. A total of 6,420 players coughed up the$10k buy-in, creating a prize-pool of $60.3 million. With the bubble set to the 1k mark, 1,796 players returned to the tables on Friday, looking to forward their Main Event cause. Obviously, 796 of them would still go home empty-handed. A total of 5 levels of action went into the day, at the end of which Amar Anand, the previous chip leader, emerged with the lead, behind a stack of 1,139,500 chips. 661 players survived the day, among them still a good number of high-profile professionals, some of them sitting on massive stacks no less. Brian Hastings for instance, finished with a little over a million chips, enough for 3rd place on the provisional leader board.

Joseph McKeehen did even better though: his 1,052,000 chips landed him in second place, right behind the leader.
The story of the day was the rise of Fedor Holz though. Holz had an excellent run. He said that he got into the zone, enjoying every moment at the tables as every time he happened upon something good, someone paid him with a worse hand.
In competition, wherever there's success, there has to be failure as well. On Day 3, a number of top pros bit the dust, among them Greg Raymer, Antoine Saout and Fabian Quoss. Daniel Coleman fell as well, as did Chris Moorman and Brad Garrett. The misfortune of becoming bubble-boys befell Roy Daoud and Jonas Lauck, who both busted at the same time to land the remainder of the field in the money.
