Aguiar busts player; “Whitealroker” crippled in the 1K

The bubble has burst in the $1K stimulus event with the help of Jonathan “FatalError” Aguiar.
Aguiar (pictured at left) raised to 2.3K before the flop with one player left before the bubble and the player in seat one shoved for 9K. Aguiar made the call with A
T while his opponent flipped over K
K
. The board ran out AQ24T, and Aguiar increased his stack to 113K.
That bust meant that meant that several P5ers are in the money, including Steve “whitealroker” Bent and Gary “GB2005″ Bogdanski.
We just got an update that Bent took a big hit shortly after being moved to a new table in the Brasilia Room at the Rio with A-J against A-Q on a board of A-Q-T-9-X board. There was around 40K in the pot by the end and now Bent is down to about 6.5K.
Earlier, with his stack at about 32K, told us that he was dealt tens and queens in consecutive hands during hand-for-hand play. He said he didn’t get any action either time and just scooped the blinds and antes. Another time he had pocket nines and decided to re-raise a short stack all in. To his surprise, the other player folded with just 5K behind and he won the pot.
Bogdanski nearly doubled up just after the players reached the money. The player in seat four raised to 3.5K and Bogdanski re-raised all in for about 13K more. The other player called all in with AK
and Bogdanski had 99. Bogdanski ended up making a straight on the T77J8 board and was up to 28K after the hand.
Here are some other chip counts:
Justin “lockdownpokah” Allen - 85K (pictured at right)
Darrell “DFish” Fish - 80K
Jamie “pokerjamers” Armstrong - 55K
Jonathan “driverseati” Tamayo - 42.3K
Barry “bearW8″ Weideman - 42K
Steve “time4badbeat” Wagner - 37.6K
Ross “zestfulyclean” Myers - 37K
Jamie “TheNew” Robbins
Mark “pghfan987″ Busch - 26K
Amanda “MandyB” Baker - 16K
Recent eliminations include Rusty “rustyhanson” Hagenbuch 490th place and Robert “rgc2005″ Chapman in 560th.
