Overview

  • Three consecutive bustouts of Marco Dickner, Matthew Frankland and Sachin Joshi on the stone bubble led to a one-hand three-way flip for the $30,000 WSOP Paradise package.
  • Matthew Frankland clinched the flip with a straight, earning the Paradise package and splitting the combined 1,460th–1,461st place money with his fellow bubble eliminations.
  • Adam Rude, eliminated one spot inside the money in 1,463rd place, received no consolation prize after narrowly missing the flip.
  • All 1,476 remaining players are now locked into a minimum payout of $15,000 as Day 4 continues under escalating blinds toward the money and final table.
  • The replacement of the traditional Main Event seat with a WSOP Paradise package prompted discussion over its influence on player strategy during the bubble.
