The Slowroll and the Bubble Burst

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

There is a rule on the bubble at the WSOP that all-in hands can not be shown until action on all other hands is completed. Ray Flora should have had the sweat of his life as his tournament life was on the line against two other players and the river had already been dealt. But pre-flop action on another table hadn't been finished yet and wouldn't be finished for a another couple of minutes. What the other players didn't know is that Flora already had a boat with {3-}{3-} on a {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} board so he wasn't too nervous.

The other hand that had not been completed yet was what eventually burst our bubble. {A-}{Q-} was all in against {10-}{10-}. The board ran a very dry {9-}{6-}{3-}{J-}{7-} and we have 81 very happy casino employees here at the Rio.
