McCarty's Elimination Brings About the Bubble

Level 11 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Senh Ung opened for 82,000 and received a call from Vladimir Troyanovskiy. When action reached former Red Dragon winner James McCarty in the big blind, he moved all in for 578,000. Ung folded and then Troyanovskiy slid in a big stack of red T25,000 chips to signify a call.

Troyanovskiy: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
McCarty: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

McCarty was behind, but he was drawing to two live cards. The {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop actually gave Troyanovskiy top set, but it also gave McCarty a flush draw. "Heart," one of McCarty's supporters called from the rail. The dealer instead put out the {5-Diamonds}.

"Heart," the same supported yelled before the river, obviously oblivious to the fact that Troyanovskiy had made a full house to leave McCarty drawing dead. Whether or not McCarty realized that is unknown as he simply stared at the board until the dealer put out the {2-Diamonds} on the river.

McCarty exited in seventh place, and that means we're on the bubble. One more player will go home empty handed while the other five will earn themselves a nice payday here in Macau.
