Scott Fischman Double Bubbles in 7th Place at the WPT Invitational.


Blair Rodman raises to $50,000, Scott Fischman moves all in for $209,000 from the small blind, and Rodman calls with pocket fives (5d-5h). Fischman shows Ah-2h, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.


The board comes Jc-8c-4d-Jd-4c, and both players make two pair. Unfortunately for Fischman, Rodman's fives are slightly higher than the fours on the board, and Fischman is eliminated in seventh place. That makes Fischman the "Double Bubble Boy," as he misses out on the money and a televised final table.


The Final Table will consist of Barry Greenstein, Blair Rodman, Allen Kessler, Tom Lock, Jesse Jones, and day one chip leader Ugur Marangoz. Official chip counts are coming soon, along with seating positions for tomorrow's final table.

Humberto Brenes is out of the WPT Invitational.


Humberto Brenes moves all in for $90,000 from the small blind with A-4 offsuit, but Scott Fischman calls from the big blind and dominates him with A-9 offsuit. Brenes hits a four on the river for a pair, but Fischman had already flopped a nine, and Brenes was drawing dead at that point. Humberto Brenes is eliminated in 10th place.


There will be a short break as the final nine players redraw for seats at the final table.
