Brandon Meyers Bubbles Event #52

After nearly two and a half hours, we are finally in the money here in Event #52.

Brandon Meyers was first to act, and moved all in for 188,000. Dani Stern folded on the button, and Ognjen Sekularac asked for a count in the small blind. The dealer obliged, and then Sekularac re-shoved, having Meyers covered by a few dozen thousand. Kevin Eyster quickly surrendered his big blind.

One more table still had a hand in progress, but as soon as Fabian Quoss folded his hand, Meyers and Sekularac tabled theirs.

Meyers:
Sekularac:

With the stacks nearly even, it was essentially a $53,781 race. Meyers didn't make a pair as the flop fell , but he did pick up a gut-shot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. Sekularac held two of his tens, but even if a ten turned, the Serbian would still have a redraw to a full house.

The on the turn removed Meyers' hopes of making a flush, and left him with eight outs to survive. Unfortunately for him, the completed the board, and he was eliminated on an excruciatingly long bubble.
