Tens Hold for Joachim; Eliminates MSPT Champ Gibson

Anthony Thompson

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

James Gibson open-jammed under the gun for roughly 25,000 and John Joachim came over the top from the hijack getting isolation.

James Gibson:
John Joachim:

Gibson held an over but didn't find one of his three outs on the flop.

The turn however, added outs to Gibson's hand as he picked up staright and flushes draws heading to the river.

Unfortunately, the river wasn't the card Bibson wanted and the former MSPT Champion took his exit.

Another Aces Vs King Cooler Sends Revniaga Home After Bubble

Anthony Thompson

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Rob Wazwaz opened for 18,000 from late position and Vlad Revniaga three-bet all in for roughly 160,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Wazwaz who called.

Vlad Revniaga:
Rob Wazwaz:

Revniaga needed a king to stay alive but couldn't find one with the runout.

It was a cooler hand on the bubble but fortunately for Revniaga, there was another player eliminated on the same hand with fewer chips and he was able to snag a min-cash.

Zupancich Bubbles the MSPT Season 10 Finale

Chad Holloway

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action folded to Brian Zupancich in the small blind and he moved all in for 53,000. Steve Webb was in the big, looked down at his hand, and made a quick call.

Brian Zupancich:
Steve Webb:

Zupancich was flipping for his tournament life and needed to improve to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the board ran out a lowly to allow Webb's fishhooks to hold.

Zupancich left empty-handed in 82nd place while the remaining players were guaranteed a minimum payday of $2,174.

A Bad Beat Bailout

Chad Holloway

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Steve Webb had opened with a raise from early position and Derek McMaster, who this past summer won a WSOP gold bracelet, three-bet all in for 88,500 from the small blind. Webb called and the hands were turned up.

Steve Webb:
Derek McMaster:

The flop gave Webb a set and it looked as if McMaster would be the bubble boy. However, the turn gave him some added straight outs, and the river completed the said straight to give McMaster new life.

Player	Chips	Progress
Derek McMaster	180,000 91,500	91,500

Steve Webb	125,000 -85,000	-85,000
