Sergei Kislinskii Eliminated on the Bubble by Cole Uvila to end Day 1B; Ethan "Rampage" Yau Overall Leader With 957,000

With 133 players remaining and 132 making the money, the floor staff instructs the dealers to finish the hands in progress and hold up, as they are preparing to start hand-for-hand.

However, a hand still in progress between Sergei Kislinskii and Cole Uvial ends up breaking the bubble before hand-for-hand could start.

The floor reprimands Kislinskii for stalling, he’s forced to commit his remaining chip and the cards are face-up.

Sergei Kislinskii: .
Cole Uvila: .
