It's official: The bubble has burst. All the players still playing in the World Series of Poker main event now have something to cheer about because they're in the money.
And most of them did when tournament officials made the announcement.
The bubble burst at around 5:30 p.m. this evening when a player who finished 874 got knocked out. A line was already forming at the cash-out podium, and players both weary and happy handed the friendly Harrah's official their slip to receive the $14,597. The next cash bubble occurs at 820. All the players who finish 820 and higher are guaranteed $15,504.
The plan is to play until there are 600 players left tonight.
