Double on the Bubble

During hand-for-hand play, action folded to Rodney Brown on the button and he raised to 3,600. Mark Radoja was in the big blind and put in a three-bet to 8,700. Brown pushed back with a four-bet to 18,600, and Radoja five-bet shoved his stack. Brown called all in and was the one at risk.

Brown: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Radoja: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Brown was ahead with kings and desperately did not want to see an ace on the flop. Lucky for him, it came down a safe {8-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades}. That left just two more cards. Brown stared intensely as the dealer burned and turned the {5-Hearts}. Another safe card. All Brown needed to do was dodge an ace on the river, which is what he did as the {K-Clubs} improved him to a full house.

It doesn't look like Brown will be our bubble boy.

Bringing Us to the Bubble

PLH

Just before the bubble, Sebastion Saffari got all in from the button for his last 11,300 and was called by Mitch Schock in the small blind.

Schock: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Saffari: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

It was a classic race for Saffari's tournament life. He was no doubt disappointed to see the flop come down {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, totally missing his big slick. As if things couldn't get worse, the {10-Spades} hit on the turn and gave Schock a straight. Saffari needed a queen on the river to stay alive, but it was not in the cards as the {5-Hearts} blanked.

PokerStars Collide

J.P. Kelly
J.P. Kelly

A player in middle position raised to 3,200 and was eventually three-bet by Team PokerStars Pro (UK) JP Kelly to 12,500 from late position. Fellow Team PokerStars Pro (USA) David Williams made the call from the cutoff while the original raiser got out of the way.

Kelly immediately potted all in for 17,400 on the {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop, which Williams called.

Kelly: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{9-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Williams: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Kelly was ahead with his aces, but not after the {4-Clubs} turn delivered Williams a flush. The river blanked and Williams shot down a poker star.

Yockey Doubles Through Hachem

PLH

We missed the betting action, but after a flop of {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}, Bryce Yockey ended up all in for his last 32,500 against PokerStars Team Pro Joe Hachem.

Hachem: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Yockey: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Hachem's kings had been outflopped and Yockey was poised to double up. The {2-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing and the {j-Clubs} on the river gave Yockey an unneeded full house to win the pot.

After the hand Yockey's stack grew to 72,000 while Hachem was left with 70,000.
