Andrey Malinin Bubbles 2019 BPO Event #3: $500 Black Chip Bounty

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

It took a while for the bubble to burst in Event #3: $500 Black Chip Bounty, but it finally did over at Table 5.

It happened when Russia's Andrey Malinin moved all in for his last approximately 90,000 from middle position and Barry Rosenkranz jammed all in over the top for 103,000 from the button. Both blinds folded and Malinin discovered the bad news.

Malinin: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Rosenkranz: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

Rosenkranz woke up with the granddaddy of all hands and Malinin was in dire straits. The {7-Clubs}{a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop delivered Rosenkranz top set and left Malinin looking to go runner-runner.

The {9-Clubs} turn kept him drawing live as an eight would complete his gutshot straight draw. The dealer burned one last time and put out the {q-Diamonds}. Malinin missed and hit the rail in 64th place, thus guaranteeing the remaining63 players at least $794 in prize money.

Cicchelli Flips for Tournament Life Two Off the Money

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Robert Cicchelli
Robert Cicchelli

After Stefano Calenzani Prieto raised from the cutoff, Robert Cicchelli three-bet all in for 56,000 from the big blind. Prieto called and it was off to the races.

Prieto: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Cicchelli: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Cicchelli was looking to hold and he did so on the {q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop. The {3-Hearts} turn made things interesting by giving Prieto the better heart flush draw, but the {5-Spades} river proved to be a safe card for Cicchelli.

Hand-for-hand play continues two off the money.

Big Slick Does the Trick for Jacoby

Level 16 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Douglas Jacoby
Douglas Jacoby

Douglas Jacoby got his short stack of 55,000 all in preflop and was in prime position to double through Brian Wee.

Jacoby: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Wee: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Jacoby was way out in front and took a hammerlock on the hand after the {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop delivered him trips. The {2-Spades} turn left Wee drawing dead and he sent over more than half his stack after the meaningless {6-Clubs} was run out on the river.

Chaura Eliminated By Bateman

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Basel Chaura moved all in for 68,000 preflop from late position and Craig Bateman jammed over the top from the small blind.

Chaura: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}
Bateman: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Chaura was in a bad spot, though the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop meant another nine would give him the lead. Unfortunately for him, neither the {a-Diamonds} turn nor {10-Spades} river was what he needed and Bateman took down the pot with tens full of queens.
