Funny story, when the money bubble burst and tournament staff was trying to verify the size of the field, players were asked to remain in their seats and spectators to clear the area. No doubt excited by the prospect of earning his first WSOP cash, Neymar was standing on the rail chatting with a trio of friends which included PokerStars Team ProAndre Akkari.
A security member, diligent in their duty and unaware that Neymar was in action, strolled up and said, ��Sorry guys, I gotta kick you out, you can��t stay here.��
From early position, Andrew Kelsall moved his last 170,000 into the middle, before Yuri Dzivielevski called next to act. The rest of the players mucked.

Elezra checked, Seiver checked and Kelsall fired out 125,000. Bonyadi mucked and Elezra called. Seiver got out of the way.
Elezra showed Kelsall the bad news as he held which was good enough to ship the pot.
