Big Bubble Doubles

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Steve Sung - Saved by a diamond on the river
Steve Sung - Saved by a diamond on the river

We just had two all-in situations and it appeared the bubble was primed to burst.

In the first, Dani Stern raised to 25,000 and then called when Ognjen Sekularac moved all in for 114,000 from the small blind. Action was halted to wait for action to complete at the other tables. It was at one of these tables that Steve Sung and Igor Kurganov battled, which you can read about below.

Sekularac: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Stern: {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Sekularac was well out in front and doubled after the board ran out {q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

At the other table, Kurganov raised to 25,000 from the cutoff only to have Sung three-bet to 80,000 from the button. Kurganov respond with a four-bet to 160,000 and then snap-called when Sung moved all in.

Sung: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Kurganov: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Sung was in the worst possible spot and looked as if he'd become the bubble boy. The {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop made that all the more likely, but much to the surprise of the railbirds still in attendance, the {3-Diamonds} turned to give Kurganov a flush draw. Much to Kurganov's dismay, as well as the other players hoping to make the money, the {8-Diamonds} spiked on the river to save Sung.
