Swierczynski Finishes as the MSPT Potawatomi Bubble Boy
There were two all ins on the first hand of hand-for-hand play, and tournament officials waited for action to complete at all the other tables before proceeding.
In the first, Karl Lavergne was all in for his last 18,000 holding the 
and was up against the 
of Greg Baird. The board ran out a clean 
and Lavergne managed to survive the bubble.
In the other hand, Frank Swierczynski had moved all in for his last 75,000 and received a call from Ross Obbink.
Swierczynski: 
Obbink: 
It was a cooler for Swierczynski, and he failed to improve on the 
flop. The turn gave him a straight draw, and he actually hit it on the 
river. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't the straight card he needed as it also gave Obbink a winning full house. A crestfallen Swierczynski was eliminated as the bubble boy in 46th place as the remaining 45 players were guaranteed a minimum payday of $2,352.
