Yesterday's fourth day of play at the record-breaking WSOP Main Event saw 1,524 players start the day and 1,517 of them were able to make it to the ITM. On the bubble, we saw two straight all-in/call situations. The first one saw German player Christian Stratmeyer put his 57,000 in with A-K, which was called by his opponent with 8-3. Two eights appeared on the flop, and to make matters worse after the river, this player also hit a flush. Stratmeyer was thus the first bubble-boy.

The second hand was even more interesting. English player Lucas Reeves put in a preflop 7-bet with K-K, but ran into his opponent's A-A. No help came after he was dealt the board, and Reeves was eliminated. Both Stratmeyer and Reeves split the $15,000 mincash, so they each won $7,500, plus they drew a card from the deck and whoever drew the higher won a free ticket to next year's Main Event. The ticket was eventually awarded to Christian Stratmeyer.
