There were two all-in and call at the same time and the one from Maxi Lehmanski against Sergi Reixach took place first.
Maxi Lehmanski:
Sergi Reixach:
The board came and Reixach rivered trips queens.
Brian Green had raised the pot by then and eventually called all-in after facing a three-bet by Gavin Cochrane.
Brian Green:
Gavin Cochrane:
The runout kept the aces in the lead and as Green had fewer chips than Lehmanski, he became the bubble boy.

It was a night to remember on GGPoker as their first-ever WSOP bracelet events — part of a 54-event schedule spread out across the next months — kicked off. Unfortunately, on a night where three bracelet winners were supposed to be crowned, two of the events ran into a critical bug and had to be suspended to next week.
The lightning-fast Event #34: $525 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed — clocking in at a mere 3 hours and 15 minutes start to finish to make it the fastest-ever bracelet event — was unaffected by the technical issues and played out as normal. In total, 2,214 entries of $525 each were made to create a total prize pool of $1,107,000.
In the end, it was Shoma "pp_syon" Ishikawa of Japan writing history as GGPoker's first-ever online bracelet winner, as well as the third person from Japan after Naoya Kihara and Takahiro Nakai to claim the coveted prize. Ishikawa is an emerging talent from the land of the rising sun with $34,238 in lifetime cashes according to The Hendon Mob, all made in South Korea and Vietnam.
