zedmaster84

Nível 21 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Just before the tournament went into hand-for-hand mode on the bubble, Aaron Mermelstein bet the river for 225,000 in the small blind. Joni Jouhkimainen raised to 875,000 and Mermelstein mucked his cards with plenty of frustration.

During the first five hands on the bubble, nothing much happened. Chance Kornuth got through with a three-bet against Robert Cowen to chip up some.

On the same table, Aaron Katz won two pots of which one went into showdown when Cowen opened to 125,000. On the flop, Katz check-called for 150,000 and they checked the turn as well as the river. Katz' were good enough to win the pot, as Cowen mucked.

During the same hand one table over, Michael Heritsch opened to 125,000 on the button and Dash Dudley came along in the big blind. The flop was checked by both and Dudley bet the turn for 130,000, earning a call from Heritsch.

After the river, Dudley checked and subsequently folded when Heritsch bet 275,000. "Quads for sure," Ben Lamb guessed and Heritsch replied "ace ace deuce" while raking in the pot.

"Nobody shows three without having it," Mermelstein pointed out.

Andrejevic Eliminated on the Money Bubble

zedmaster84

Nível 21 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

For around 45 minutes, Andjelko Andrejevic as one of the shorter stacks had been trolling that they would be in the money and Scott Seiver joined in, which at some point even managed to confuse Ben Lamb.

As it happened to be, Andrejevic was then the player to end up all-in and at risk on the stone cold bubble.

Dash Dudley raised to 150,000 in the small blind and Andrejevic pushed in the big blind for 350,000, which Dudley called.

Andjelko Andrejevic:
Dash Dudley:

Andrejevic started clapping already with a smile on the face and Seiver joined in while adding "he doesn't even have a suit".

The flop was devastating for Andrejevic, as Dudley had made aces full. Running kings or a joker in the deck were required for Andrejevic to survive but the miracle never came on the turn and river to let the bubble burst.
