Farzad Bonyadi Is The Bubble Boy
Farzad Bonyadi came into the day with just 27,600, and before the bubble, he had a great day, working his stack up to 241,000. Unfortuantely for him, all of that is gone now, as he became our bubble boy after busting in a huge pot to Nick Schwarmann, who is now over a million and one of our chip leaders.
Action started with Schwarmann raising it up to 12,000 preflop in middle position. Bonyadi made the call in position, and the two went heads up to a flop of 
. Schwarmann checked to Bonyadi, who tossed out 14,000. Schwarmann went for a check raise to 37,000, and Bonyadi tagged along to see the 
hit the turn. Schwarmann fired out 54,000 on this card, and Bonyadi again opted to just call. The 
came on the river, then Schwarmann put pressure on Bonyadi by moving all in, easily having him covered. According to Schwarmann after the hand, Bonyadi snap called the bet.
Play had to be halted for almost five minutes so that all other hands could be finished first. There was only one other hand in the room that saw an all in and a call, but Bonyadi and Schwarmann were the first table up to table their cards.
Bonyadi showed 
for a pair of jacks, but it was no good, as Schwarmann showed 
for a rivered broadway straight. Tzu Yen doubled up in his hand, making Farzad Bonyadi the 2013 Main Event bubble boy.
