Bousfield Fails to Triple Up
Level 13
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
John Bousfield had become short-stacked when he pushed his final chips in from the cutoff. Trung Tran and Ryan Mandara called in the blind, after which the 7♠5♠6♣ flop was fanned.
Tran checked to Mandara, who put the former all-in for about 40,000. Tran quickly mucked, forcing a showdown.
John Bousfield: A♣6♠ 
Ryan Mandara: 9♦9♣
The 8♣ river made Mandara a straight and left Bousfield drawing to a chop. The A♦ river was no help to Bousfield, who tapped the table and headed to the exit.
