Bernard Guigon is the Bubble Boy

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We have all heard of the phrase "a chip and a chair." Here is a new one for you "no chips and a chair!"

Poor old Bernard Guigon was clinging on for dear life when he eventually had to part with his last 500 chip as a forced ante. To make matters worse for Guigon three other players were in the hand and they all checked the action down from flop to river.

The board was {2-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {a-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {6-Clubs} and one by one Guigon's opponents turned over their cards and Tournament Director Thomas Kremser shouted out their hands.

"Seven High!" Kremser announced.

"Ten High!" Kremser announced.

"A pair of Deuces!" Kremser announced.

Finally the action fell to Guigon and by now it was clear that he had to beat a pair of deuces. He slowly peeled his cards back to reveal {5-} and then {j-}. He threw them into the muck in disgust and his action was met with rapturous applause.
