"SlurpeeJunkee" Eliminated On Bubble, "FrankiePockets" Eliminated in 12th Place($1,850)

Blinds: 14,000/28,000

"FrankiePockets" moved all-in for 423,506 from early position and on the button "SlurpeeJunkee" went into the tank before calling off for 335675. In the small blind "georgejanssen" looked them both up and the cards were turned up.

"SlurpeeJunkee": {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
"FrankiePockets": {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
"georgejanssen": {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The flop came out {4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, giving "SlurpeeJunkee" a set and "georgejanssen" flush and straight outs. The turn {2-Hearts} did not change anything, but the river {5-Clubs} gave "georgejanssen" the ace high flush and the whole pot. Since "FrankiePockets" had more chips, he will be receiving 12th place money, where as "SlurpeeJunkee" is the unfortunate bubble boy.
