The Bubble Hath Burst

Ken Silberstein - Bubble Boy
Ken Silberstein - Bubble Boy

Nicholas Palma raised to 19,000 from the small blind, Ken Silberstein defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Palma led out for 15,000, Silberstein raised to 35,000, and Palma re-raised to 85,000. Silberstein called.

The turn was another three - the {3-Spades} - and Palma checked. Silberstein moved all in for around 200,000, and Palma called.

Palma: {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Silberstein: {10-Spades}{7-Spades}

Palma needed either the board to pair or to hit one of the three remaining queens in the deck, and low and behold the {q-Spades} spiked on the river. Silberstein was eliminated on the stone bubble, while Palma is now above 1 million chips.

The remaining 25 players are now guaranteed $5,600.
