Lazar Busts Alner to Burst UKPL Coventry Main Event Bubble
Two spots from the money, Jack Rhodes moved all in for 102,000 under the gun, being looked up by Alex Montgomery in middle position.
Jack Rhodes: K♣Q♠
Alex Montgomery: A♦Q♥
The board ran out an inconsequential 7♣3♦9♣8♥9♠, sending Rhodes to the rail and leaving the field on the stone bubble.
Over at another table, Stefan Lazar had pushed all in on the cutoff and saw James Alner call off in the small blind for about 50,000.
James Alner: 7♠7♣
Stefan Lazar: A♣J♦
Lazar paired up on the K♥9♥J♥ flop for a big lead, although the 10♥ turn provided Alner with plenty of chop outs. His fate as bubble boy was sealed on the 4♣ river, however, being the final player to depart without a cash.
The 38 remaining players all pocketed a minimum of £1,070 for making it to the money, and play continued on Day 2 of the UKPL Coventry Main Event.
