The Bubble Has Burst!

After 16 hours and 30 minutes of exciting and exhilarating poker we came down to the snail pace of the hand for hand bubble action. The vultures flew around the tables waiting for the inevitable carcass to be thrown out into the throng. The unfortunate carcass in this case belonged to the Italian gentleman Gianni Giaroni. Giaroni had already cashed in no less than three EPT Main Events this year but unfortunately it was not going to be number four.

The guy everyone wanted to hug and kiss - except the Giaroni family was Pokerstars qualifier Riekus Hein Wijermars.

Wijemars raised UTG to 8,000 and Giaroni made a huge three-bet in the region of ~ 70,000 from the button. Wijemars announced all-in and Giaroni called. There was the usual long wait for all the hands to finish before the board was dealt and it held no luck for Giaroni.

Giaroni: {a-Hearts} {k-Clubs}

Wijemars: {a-} {a-}

Board: {9-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} {6-Hearts}
