We Have Our Bubble Boys

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

David Olson and Alex Ryan both busted during round-for-round play. Olson ran pocket tens into pocket kings when he had 100,000 stack. Ryan ended up with a full house but his opponent made quads.

The two will split the $2,917 min-cash and each walk away with $1,458.50 each. So each player earns a cash but walk away with less than the tournament buy-in.

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Facing a 10,500 open, Larry Wright bumped it up to 35k only to see his opponent shove for another 140,000 - a good percentage of his own stack.

Wright tanked for a good five minutes before asking for a coin. He was handed a rusty old penny.

"If it's heads I'll call, if it's tails I'll fold," he said. It ended up heads, but the condition of the penny made it very hard to tell.

"I fold," Wright said, turning over {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and sending most of his tablemates into shock with the tightness of his play.

Round for Round

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We're now on the dreaded bubble and here at the Choctaw Casino they're playing round for round until it pops.

If two players bust in the same orbit, they'll split 99th place cash - Here we go!

Ramos' Run

Some aggressive bubble play and the right cards at the right time has shot Bryan Ramos up the leaderboard.

After a pre-flop raising war with one player, Ramos set the man all in for about 125k. His opponent tanked, but called with big slick, only to find Ramos sitting on two kings.

The {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs} river kept him ahead and the {k-Clubs} turn sealed the deal, sending Ramos up to 450,000 and leaving just 101 players to contend for the Choctaw title.

On The Bubble

Just a few spots from the money play has certainly tightened up since the players have returned from dinner.

Someone forgot to send the memo to Ray Jennings, however, as he seems as willing to ship it as he ever was.

Facing a 40k bet with 50k in the middle on a {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop, Jennings went deep into the tank. In fact, he didn't come out until the clock was called, but he came out shoving for his final 116,000.

His opponent folded and Jennings is now on 200k just five spots from a payday.

The Action Table Has Broken

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Table 14, or the action table, has been broken. We're especially disappointed due to the fact that there were four stacks all over 400,000 at the table and chips had been flying around.
