Nguyen Falls to Wantman on Money Bubble

Connor Richards

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Matthew Wantman opened from the hijack and Turbo Nguyen three-bet jammed a stack of 37,000 on the button. Wantman called with a bigger stack.

Turbo Nguyen: 10♣10♠
Matthew Wantman: K♠J♣

An elimination at another table meant that Nguyen was at risk of bubbling. The flop of J♠5♦9♥ gave Wantman a big lead.

"Life is good no matter what, guys," Nguyen said before the runout of 3♠K♦ improved Wantman to two pair to mark Nguyen's elimination on the bubble.

"Stone bubble. Good game," Nguyen said as he left.

Urbonas Eliminated One Off the Bubble

Brandon Bloom

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mantas Urbonas was forced all in for his last 3,000 in the big blind and was at risk against Sami Bechahed in the hijack.

Mantas Urbonas: A♣7♦
Sami Bechahed: K♥J♠

Urbonas was a slight favorite until the Q♥J♥6♠ flop left him needing help. The 6♥ turn meant he needed only a non-heart ace to survive, but the 9♦ completed the board and Urbonas was eliminated as the field is now one elimination away from the money.

Christina Gollins was all in for around 50,000 against Mario Arribas, who had her covered.

Christina Gollins: Q♦Q♠
Mario Arribas: J♥J♣

"Baby Shark" had her opponent pipped and was in great shape to double up before the flop landed K♣J♦2♥ to give Arribas a set. The A♥A♠ runout improved him to a full house as Gollins was eliminated a few spots off the money.

Alati Ousted by Baldwin's Rivered Straight

Brandon Bloom

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Richard Alati was all in for about 44,000 in the big blind and at risk against Eric Baldwin in the small blind.

Richard Alati: K♠J♥
Eric Baldwin: 5♠3♠

The Q♣7♣6♣ flop left Alati needing to fade additional outs, as did the 9♦ turn, and the 4♣ spiked the river to give Baldwin a seven-high straight to eliminate Alati a few spots off the money.
