Potential for Fireworks

Frenchman Ludovic Lacay's table just broke and he's been moved to a rather interesting spot immediately to the right of overnight chip leader Martins Adeniya.

We'll certainly be keeping an eye on this table as the potential for some serious fireworks exists between these two massive stacks.

Double on the Bubble

With just 131 players left in the field and the 128-person money bubble fast approaching, a short stacked David Baker shipped his last 38,500 chips in the middle on an {8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Clubs} board and was called.

His opponent held {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Baker was ahead with {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} with one card to come.

It was obviously a nervous moment for Baker as the dealer peeled off the river card, but he managed to hold on and double up after the {7-Spades} fell.

Marbleu Feeling the Blues

Claude Marbleu has exited in 131st place, just three short of the money. We missed the hand where he was crippled to 6,500 but he was in the big blind the next hand and the extra few chips went in after Jason Hallee raised into him.

Marbleu: {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Hallee: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The board ran {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Not even sweat as the Frenchman was drawing dead on the flop.

Ruxandescu Survives

The first all in and call on the bubble happened. Iulian Georgian Ruxandescu open shoved his last 35,500 in from under the gun and was called by Chris Karagulleyan in the big blind.

Iulian Georgian Ruxandescu: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Chris Karagulleyan: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The board ran {3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} .

It was nice to see Anton Ionel sweating his friend and taking enjoyment out of the double-up, seeing he is one of those most at risk with just 18,500 chips.

Ruxandescu Thrives

Chris Karagulleyan (seat 4) and Iulian Georgian Ruxandescu	(seat 5)

Iulian Georgian Ruxandescu has doubled up again, and through the same player. Chris Karagulleyan raised from the button and called when Ruxandescu three-bet all-in from the small blind.

Ruxandescu: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Karagulleyan: {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The board ran {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. Ruxandescu had to fade a flush on the river, and did so to get in a much healthier position to cash.
