Kasra Bakhshaee Bubbles

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Bubble Boy Kasra Bakhshaee
Bubble Boy Kasra Bakhshaee

Dejan Boskovic opened the cutoff to 12,000 and Ang Italiano called on the button before Kasra Bakhshaee moved all in from the small blind for 51,000. Boskovic folded, but Italiano made the call to put Bakhshaee at risk.

Bakhshaee: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Italiano: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

With Bakhshaee trailing and needing to connect to stay alive, the {3-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} flop would see him flop top pair to now be at a huge advantage.

The turn however opened the door slightly as it fell the {A-Spades} to give Italiano outs to a straight.

Unfortunately for Bakhshaee, the dealer would burn and turn the {10-Diamonds} on the river to end his tournament on the bubble while simultaneously sending Italiano up to 535,000 while ensuring the remaining 36 players a guaranteed AU$20,003 payday.

The Van Gets a Flat

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Van Marcus
Van Marcus

On a flop of {J-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts}, Victor Teng fired out a continuation-bet and Van Marcus moved all in with Teng quickly calling.

Teng: {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Marcus: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The turn landed the {6-Spades} to change nothing as Marcus bellowed, "make it high dealer!"

Unfortunately the dealer didn't respond the way Marcus wanted as the {6-Diamonds} completed the board on the river to eliminate Marcus in 38th place - just two spots from the money.

Boskovic: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs} to see Boskovic spike a king on the flop to take Rast out.

Gross Gone in Horrible Fashion

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Jeff Gross
Jeff Gross

The action folded round to Ivan Zhou on the button and he made it 5,500 to go. From the big blind, Jeff Gross three-bet to 15,000 and Zhou moved all in for roughly 500,000 with Gross snap-calling for his last 80,000 in chips.

Zhou: {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Gross: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

With Gross in great shape to double, the {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop saw Zhou launch in the cheer to cheer for a king or ten.

The turn of the {3-Hearts} changed nothing, and with Zhou continuing to ask for a king or ten, the dealer delivered the {10-Hearts} on the river to send Gross to the rail and Zhou up to 582,000 in chips.
