Feldman Doubles

Andrew Feldman
Andrew Feldman

Andrew Feldman's career tournament winnings total a little over $600,000, but that's all about to change once he finishes out this tournament. He's already locked up $124,402 by making it to the final three. Looking at his career record, that number makes this one of his largest scores ever. He only has two scores in the six figures, one for $250,000 from the 888.com UK Open IV Finals in 2007 and the other for $103,874 in the EPT Monte Carlo Grand Final High Roller in 2009.

On top of locking up one of the largest scores of his career, Feldman just doubled up as well. After raising to 36,000 from the button, Perica Bukara called from the big blind and the two took a flop of {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}. Bukara fired out 50,000 and Feldman raised all in for 431,000. Bukara made the call with the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. His two pair was up against the big draw for Feldman with the {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

The turn was the {10-Spades} to give Feldman the flush and the river completed the board with the {A-Clubs}.

Feldman slapped his hands together with a massive clap and doubled up to around one million in chips. Bukara dropped back to 1.72 million.

Miller Trips On the River

Ori Miller raised from the button to 41,000 and Perica Bukara called from the small blind to see a flop of {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Both players checked and the turn card brought the {7-Clubs}. Both players checked again. Although the hand was rather uneventful thus far, things got interesting after the {5-Spades} fell on the river.

Bukara fired out 35,000 and he was met with a raise to 100,000 from Miller. Bukara made the call, but mucked his hand to the {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} of Miller, who rivered trip fives.

Miller increased to 860,000 and Bukara dropped to 2.18 million.

Andrew Feldman raised to 31,000 on the button and Perica Bukara called from the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Bukara checked. Feldman bet 42,000 and Bukara came along with a call. Both checked the {5-Hearts} turn card and the {4-Clubs} fell on the river. Bukara put together chips for a bet and before even making it, Feldman threw his hand away.

"Ace is good," said Feldman.

"Of course," replied Bukara, flashing the {A-Clubs}.

Bukara: Up to about about 2,050,000
Feldman: Down to roughly 640,000
