Miller and Lavenburg Flushed Out on Bubble
Raul Martinez and short-stacked Adam Miller got all the chips in preflop on the stone bubble and after the other tables completed their action the cards were tabled.
Adam Miller: K♠Q♣
Raul Martinez: 9♥3♥
The flop came out 9♣K♥10♥ for a huge sweat, as Miller had the superior pair but Martinez also had a flush draw to go with his three. The turn 10♠ took away some of Martinez's outs but the 6♥ on the river was a gut punch to Miller as it gave his opponent the flush to eliminate him.
Across the room, another all-in-hand was unfolding:
Johann Ibanez opened to 16,000 from under the gun before Michael Lavenburg three-bet to 44,000. Ibanez called.
On the Q♥6♥4♣ flop, Ibanez checked and Lavenburg continued for 25,000, leaving around 250,000 behind. Ibanez moved all in as the big stack and was quickly called.
Michael Lavenburg: AxQx
Johann Ibanez: 10♥7♥
Coincidentally, Ibanez took a chunk off Lavenburg earlier on with the same hand and had the chance to do the same again. The J♣ turn was a brick but Ibanez made his flush on the A♥ river to oust Lavenburg.
Since both of these players were eliminated at the same time, they will be splitting the 128th Place min-cash for $2,396 each.
