$5,300 SHRPO Championship
Prizepool: $4,195,250 | Structure | Payouts
Level 17: 5,000/10,000 with a 10,000 ante
Players Remaining: 109 of 865
With 110 players remaining, the tournament staff announced that all tables should finish the hands in progress and then stop to begin hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble.
In one of those hands, with the final board showing 
and roughly 300K in the pot, Aaron Mermelstein checked from middle position, and Carlos Guerrero moved all in for about 550,000.
Mermelstein went into the tank for a long time, using several Time Chips. During that time, Aaron Overton busted at the next table to burst the Money Bubble. But Mermelstein continued to tank, using more Time Chips.
Mermelstein eventually folded, and Guerrero took the pot.
Carlos Guerrero – 875,000 (88 bb)
Aaron Mermelstein – 320,000 (32 bb)
This hand started before the Money Bubble, and ended with the bubble burst and the remaining players in the money, guaranteed at least $9,700 each.
With 109 players remaining from a field of 865, the average chip stack is around 397,000 (40 big blinds).
