Martins Hits Second Gear

[user4144]
[user4144]
Not everyone is playing in reverse during this bubble period. With just one exit remaining, Martins Adeniya managed to win three pots in a row.

(i) With a raise of 2,500 in front of him, Adeniya pushed all in from the small blind and picked up the pot uncontested.

(ii) Mikael Andersson raised to 2,000 from the cut-off, only for Adeniya to make it 6,300. Andersson relinquished his hand.

(iii) Adeniya snapped up the blinds with a raise of 2,100 from the cut-off.

As a result of his activeness, Adeniya has increased his stack to 30,000.

Out on a Lim

[user4144]

With Raymond Rahme raising it up from under the gun, Robert Lim flat called for a third of his stack on the button. On the {6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, Rahme open pushed and Lim made the all-in call.

Rahme = {9-?}{9-?}
Lim = {A-?}{A-?}

Turn = {4-Spades}
River = {10-Diamonds}

... and bullets burst the bubble. "I wanted to double up," claimed Lim in defeat as he begrudgingly remained seated at the table.

Lucky Mackie

One very lucky gentleman is Mr. Duncan Mackie. Finding himself in the big blind on the bubble with just 4,100 chips behind, it folded around to David Rowan in the small blind, who raised to cover him.

Mackie dwelled up for an understandably long time, mainly sighing and looking up at the ceiling as if hoping for divine guidance or some such. Eventually he passed, and as soon as he did, TD Jack Effel announced that Robert Lim had already burst the bubble, and Mackie breathed another sigh, this time of realief, that he had made the money.

Martin Survives

With a raise of 3,000 before him, William Martin pushed all in for a total of 10,100. "Will you show if I pass?" came the all too familiar question. Martin shrugged and lifted his palm into the air before saying, "I'll show if you call."

In the end, no call was made, but Martin remained hospitable, flipping {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} as he raked in the pot.

Ouch

[user4144]
[user4144]
According to my source (please consider this a disclaimer), Ganesh Bathmanathan is now on 100,000 (!) in chips after shoving {9-?}{8-?} on a {10-?}{9-?}{10-?} flop, being snap-called by {K-?}{K-?} and fluking a cheeky straight via a {7-?} turn and {6-?} river. As I said when I stubbed my toe this morning: "Ouch."

Lenane's the Man

[user46392]
[user46392]
Some misfortune for Anthony Roux, who called the short-stacked all in from Declan Lenane. Going by the hands, we're assuming that the chips went in on the flop rather than pre, and a lucky five on the turn, followed by a distinct lack of clubs, saved Lenane from certain destruction. Roux is down to 17,000, while Lenane moves on up to 14,000.

Roux: {A-Clubs} {2-Clubs}
Lenane: {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs}

Board: {9-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {8-Spades}

Fed to the Wolves

[user4144]

With some big stacks present, it was like being fed to the wolves when Tim Molyneux made his way to Table Juanda, and it was indeed last year's Main Event Champ who eliminated the short stack.

All in with {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, Molyneux need to dodge six outs against Juanda's {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} one of which arrived on the turn of a {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{J-Spades} board.
