Kurek the Penultimate Bubble Boy
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
In the last hand before the break, a short-stacked Michael Kurek moved all in under the gun for 28,500 and cleared the field to Scott Aitchison, who called from the big blind.
Aitchison: 
Kurek: 
The 
flop kept Kurek firmly in the lead, and the 
turn meant he just needed to dodge a king and ten on the river to double. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the 
spiked on the river.
Kurek was eliminated in 14th place, which means the final 13 players will return from the break on the bubble and playing hand for hand.
