It's stone bubble time over in the Super Deep 6-Max, with 27 players remaining, and Tanupat Punjarojanakul just found the lifeline he needed to make it into the money.
Punjarojanakul opened from the hijack before Colin Moll three-bet to 35,000 from tthe cutoff. The button called before the blinds got out of the way. Punjarojanakul then moved all in for 207,000 (41 big blinds), and after some minutes in the tank, Moll called. The button returned his cards to the dealer.
Tanupat Punjarojanakul: A♥K♥
Colin Moll: Q♦Q♣
Punjarojanakul picked up nine more outs on the 7♥5♥2♣ flop, and was drawing to the nut-flush draw. The 8♣ turn kept Moll ahead but the 8♥ river gave Punjarojanakul the flush to stay alive.
Also still in contention for a Day 2 berth are James Lauer and BetMGM Poker ambassador Michael Lavin. Lavin, however, is in the danger zone with around 40,000 chips, giving him just eight big blinds at the 5,000 big blind level.
