Bubble time in the Main Event!

As the summer series enters the home stretch - aside from the Main Event final table, which will end in August - there are seven different tournaments running today including a few Day 1s. So if you've bounced out of the Main Event and are looking for some action, you've got options.

Expect the live coverage to focus on the Main Event, especially given the state of play when play resumes. 7 players will leave today with nothing but memories, while the other 1,382 will have at least $15,000 to soften the blow.

That's right, it's about to be bubble time in the WSOP Main Event!
