Showdown
Mercier:
Rutter:
Mercier moved ahead with the on the turn and he hit his flush after the rivered just for kicks and giggles. He doubled to 48,000 chips and Rutter is left with just 4,000.
With 22,300 in front of Bryce Yockey in the cut-off, and 7,700 before Felipe Ramos on the button, my best assumption would be that there was a small raise and a reraise, before Yockey decided to bump up the action with a four-bet. Ramos, meanwhile, had a difficult stack, 22,300 behind and the bubble looming. Although a die waited patiently on top of his cards, Ramos decided not to roll it and made the fold.
James Akenhead raised to 3,000 from UTG+1; Jason James, who'd limped under the gun, made the call. After both players had checked the flop, James (Jason, that is - boy, this could get confusing) check-called a bet of 5,000 on the turn. Despite the turn action, the river went check, check, only for Akenhead to pick up the pot with .
Akenhead - 67,000
James - 27,000
The pots are getting bigger and bigger here on Day 2, making it more difficult for some dealers to calculate pot bets. One gentleman had to pause a few moments ago while cutting out the pot.
"Jesus Christ," the dealer griped. "Sorry guys just doing the math."
Here's to the hard workers on the felt!
In the last few minutes we've lost two soliders: Chris Bjorin and Stephen Hearst. This means we're down to 83 with 81 getting paid. Hearts have now picked up a beat.
We are two players from the money and we've yet to go hand-for-hand. Once the bubble burst we'll surely let you know.
With Mike Puskarich grinding his 2,500 stack like Tony Hawks on Red Bull, and Nicholas Verkaik struggling with 6,200, the feature table seemed like the most likely source of our bubble to the bubble.
Jonathan Little is also on the table, and he appears to be taking full advantage of those looking to creep into the money. On this, occasion, however, it backfired, Little's raise to 2,500 from UTG+1 being met by a hesitant/reluctant all-in from Verkaik two seats down.
Verkaik didn't look comfortable, and grimaced like a gurning champion before tabling the bullets, , and rising nervously from his seat. He needn't have worried though, as although Little's gave him a mini sweat on a board, the river came a harmless to keep him alive.
