Why dont they just offer the bubble finisher 10k euros and get on with the game?

Jen and I are currently having a whip round in the media room. People are surprisingly charitable in these situations.

It would make sense! Im only a recreational player, and i prefer to play live than online, but its the bubble play which annoys me!

Come on..please do use you'r brain. (no offense)
What will u do with the 'bubble' before the 10k payout then??

Surinder Sunar, with 35k on the big blind, shoving over the top of Ricardo Sousa with .  Sousa held .
Flop: 
Turn:
River:

And after nearly three and a half hours, Surinder takes the worst spot in the EPT Grand Final, and everyone else takes off 45mins for dinner.  Actually, he probably does that too.  It would be way too harsh to deny him access to the player buffet on top of everything.

Dana’s posting her pictures which should follow shortly.

Pardon? i was just making a suggestion! after 2 hours of bubble play (or however long it has been) playing hand for hand at 8 mins per hand thats 7/8 hands per level which takes the micheal! if the bubble goes on for this long then why not say pay the next person out whatever the buy in was and the the play would loosen up!

did you catch the big arguement between hachem and woody?

Hello. I saw/heard this confrontation, and, I must confess, thoroughly enjoyed it from an entertainment perspective. Basically, Joe Hachem had just lost a huge pot, which, my source informs me, went check check at the end, and tried to muck his cards on the River. A couple of the players, one of whom was Woody Deck, were demanding to see his cards, but Hachem refused. Woody Deck then called him an asshole and hinted that he was being a diva and trying to play the 'superstar card' (ie. too famous to have to show). At this point, and I got a great view of this, Hachem leapt out of his chair in a fit of rage and bellowed, "Who the fuck do you think you are", even, and it brings a tear to my eye that a player could use such a derogatory word, calling Woody 'Euro'. As Woody shrugged his shoulders and sat their grinning like a naughty schoolchild, Hachem paced around the table momentarily before storming off.

In the interest of fairness, I have been informed that Joe bluffed the River of this hand and was called, as opposed to it being checked down. The question is, does this make a difference, or do players still have a right to see the hand if they so wish?

I do see u'r point sir, but u gotta see that all u do is creating another 'bubble' with that suggestion.

At least the battle between girgsy and moffsy (or whatever) has brightened up my wait for the bubble to burst ! ! ! ! PS Moffsy is right IMO 

[Girgy85]

how is it? the previous player went out over 2 hours ago! i take your point! the bubble is there for a reason but sometimes its logical just to say this is getting a joke and in effect burst the bubble by offering the next player out his/her money back! Nobody wants to grind it out for 3 days to bubble!

Ha ha..I may be going out on a limb here but..right now I place you as a player that makes a ghey raise(min raise) holding Aces pre, with 5 limpers in front, only to sit and whine for 20 mins afterwards when they get cracked by 63 sooooooted?
