Guise Avoids Ignominious Fate

With play stuck at 41 players, Tom Guise pushed all in from early position and found no callers. He tabled {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} and said he wasn't afraid to be the bubble boy.

The very next hand, from under the gun, Guise pushed in again. This time he was called by Tyrone Kerrigan. Guise had Big Slick a second time, but Kerrigan's pocket aces had Guise crushed. The board ran out {10-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {K-Diamonds} to allow Kerrigan's aces to hold. When the stacks were counted down, Guise had Kerrigan covered, but only by 800 chips.

On the next hand, after paying the 300-chip ante, Guise was all in from the big blind for 500. William Te raised the pot to 5,000, folding all other players. He opened {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, but Guise found live cards with {5-Spades} {4-Spades}. A board of {3-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} made two pair, fives and fours, to keep Guise's tournament hopes alive.

He folded his next hand in the small blind and is left with 2,400 chips. Kerrigan now has about 40,000.
