Dinio Talking To Welch Post Bustout

The first hand for hand elimination came at Table 50 when Bradley Paleg lost a race to Matthew Brunkskole holding A♠ Q♠ < 10♦ 10♠.  The board would runout 2♣ 4♣ 2♥ 6♦ 8♥ and Bradley would walk away two short of the money.

The very next hand at Table 39, A.Nonymous would shove UTG for 62,500, with action folding around to Charles Welch.  Welch would re-shove (having the table covered), which got everyone's attention.  Arnold Dinio would be next to act and he would also shove his remaining chips in.  Action would fold around and the table would have a three-way all-in, with Welch having both players at risk:

Welch: J♠ J♦       Dinio: K♦ K♣       A. Nonymous: Q♣ Q♦

Runout: 10♠ 4♠ 9♥ 3♠ 8♠

Welch would hold the only spade, as he pushed it towards the board.  Dinio would stand for a moment in shock, before the supervisor informed him that he would split 54th place money with A. Nonymous (since two people busted the same hand on the bubble). Play has resumed with the clock running, with everyone left receiving their respective share of the prize fund.
