A Double on the Bubble

On the feature table, Patrick Chan moved all in for 133,000 on the button. Peter Jankowski made the call in the big blind, and the hands were opened.

Chan: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Jankowski: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The floor made no attempt to stop the players from sweating the hand, and nearly the entire field encircled around the table as the flop fell {5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Thinking that Jankowski was the short stack (he was only second in chips to start the hand) the players began to cheer.

The turn and river came {4-Spades}, {4-Hearts} respectively, and Chan doubled.

Just as players started to send off "in the money" texts and tweets (Justin Schwartz actually lost his iPhone in the process), they realized that they had slowrolled themselves.

Chan is up to 275,000 chips, while Jankowski dropped to 610,000.

Jaffee Joins Massey on the Rail

Jared Jaffee - Eliminated
Jared Jaffee - Eliminated

Nicholas Palma opened to 16,000 from the cutoff seat, and Jared Jaffee moved all in for around 125,000 on the button. Palma made the call, and begged to hold "just this one time."

Palma: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Jaffee: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, and Palma indeed held.

Jaffee is out in 27th place, and we are now on the stone bubble.

Massey Can't Fade; Busts

Aaron Massey (Day 1)
Aaron Massey (Day 1)

Moments ago, Peter Jankowski started shouted wildly at the feature table. When we headed over to the table, we saw the dealer muck ace-king. The board was {j-Clubs}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and Jankowski had {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} sitting in front of him.

The unlucky victim was Aaron Massey.

"I had ace-king," he confirmed, as he stood up from the table. "All in on the flop."

After celebrating, Jankowski apologized to Massey, saying what he did was out of line. Jankowski now has around 775,000 chips.

May the Schwartz Be With You

Jason Strasser open shoved from the cutoff for his last 100,000 or so, and Justin Schwartz re-shoved behind him on the button. The blinds both released, and the hands were tabled.

Strasser: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Schwartz: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, and Strasser wished the table good luck before exiting.

Chip Jett (Day 1)
Chip Jett (Day 1)

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}, and Jett was eliminated.

The Life of Reilly

Bryan Leskowitz open-shoved his last 126,000 on the button, and Timothy Reilly called in the small blind. The big blind released, and the hands were opened.

Leskowitz: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Reilly: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop gave Leskowitz a set, the case seven ({7-Diamonds}) on the turn gave him quads, and a meaningless {k-Spades} completed the board. Leskowitz doubled to 264,000 chips, while Reilly slipped to 496,000.

Sweeney Can't Catch a Club

Joe Sweeney, who was one of the shortest stacks in the room, moved all in on a flop of {6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. David Stefanski tank-called with two red fours, and Sweeney rolled over {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.

The turn and river came {a-Hearts}, {5-Spades}, eliminating Sweeney from the tournament.
