McSwiney Burst the Bubble
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Joshua McSwiney opened to 23,000 from the cutoff and Jackson Young three-bet to 100,000 in the small blind. McSwiney moved all in for his remaining ~300,000 and Young snap called.
Joshua McSwiney: K♣J♣
Jackson Young: J♥J♦
With McSwiney at risk, he needed to hit the board to stay in the tournament and make the money. He was already stood and had walked away from the table before the board was dealt.
The 7♦Q♣8♣ flop saw McSwiney pick up a club flush draw, and a backdoor straight. A 5♥ turn didn't change anything, and his hope was lost as the dealer placed the A♦ river.
McSwiney busted on the stone bubble, with all remaining players making the money here in the Aussie Millions Main Event, locking up the minimum cash of A$20,020.
