We Have Our Bubble Boy

Preflop, David Gross held A-Q against Adrian Pitts who held A-10. Both players caught their kicker on the flop and Pitts did not improve, sending him home on the bubble.

We're In the Money!

The bubble took virtually no time at all to pop. We'll bring you the bubble hand and keep you posted on players who finish in the money before we close for the evening.

Evelyn Ng Survives a Scare

Evelyn moved all in over the top of a preflop raiser for 19,300 more from the button, holding {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Before making the call, her opponent said, "I'm beating king high for sure."

After he pushed his chips into the middle, he revealed {A-Spades}{8-Clubs} and was behind Evelyn's A-K.

The {4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop drew an excited clap from Ng's opponent, while she could only throw her hands behind her head in amazement.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs}, giving Ng eight more outs by way of a flush draw. When the {5-Clubs} fell on the river, Evelyn let out a sigh of relief and she took down the pot. Evelyn's double-up brought her close to 50,000 chips.

Phil Gordon Eliminated

Phil Gordon
Phil Gordon
Phil Gordon made it 5,300 to go on the button, preflop, and was called by Ed Moncada int the big blind.

Flop: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Moncada checked to Phil, who bet 6,000 and Moncada called. The turn was the {K-Clubs} and again Moncada checked to Phil, who bet 6,000. Moncada called and the river brought the {10-Hearts}. Phil moved all-in after Moncada checked and Moncada called. Moncada showed {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, which was apparently good enough as Phil said, "That's the sickest call I've ever seen," and mucked.

Table 2 Gets Testy

The slow pace of play at table 2 is causing quite the commotion. "Every decision is taking two minutes. We've seen three hands since the break," Phil Gordon said. A floor person has asked the table to calm down.
