Max Kruse is the Bubble Boy of Event #44
The action folded to Max Kruse on the button, and he splashed in his last 4,000. Farzad Bonyadi folded the small blind, and Calvin Anderson was bound to a call from the big blind.
Both players drew two, and on the second draw, they each drew two again.
"I have a good hand!" stated Anderson as he stood pat.
"I have a good hand too." responded Kruse.
Kruse thought a little more, and then showed the 
and tossed it to the muck.
Anderson tabled his 
for a number three.
"I have a chance..." added Kruse as he revealed his 
for a wheel draw.
Needing a five or six to keep his tournament life alive, the remaining players had gathered around Kruse to watch him sweat.
As he began squeezing, he stated, "We have a chance!"
Eventually, Kruse was unable to strike one of his outs as he peeled the for a pair and consequently was eliminated from the tournament in 18th place as the bubble boy. If that wasn't brutal enough, it's the second time Kruse bubbled a 10k 2-7 tournament after just missing out on the money in Event #23: $10,000 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw Championship earlier this series.
