Angelov Runs Into Kings on the Bubble

Matt Warburton

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Boris Angelov raised to 16,000 from early position and Riccardo Trevisani three-bet to 60,000 from the big blind. Angelov moved all in for around 160,000 and Trevisani, who had eliminated Lorenzo Arduini just moments before, made the call. Players turned their cards, with Angelov at risk.

Boris Angelov: 10♠10♦ All in
Riccardo Trevisani: K♠K♣

"No 'Congratulations players, you are in the money'," pleaded Angelov.

The board ran out 8♠3♣6♠J♣J♥ and Angelov found no help. Trevisani held with his pocket kings, making two pair with the jacks on board.

Cheers and claps rang out across the room and the TD made the announcement that Angelov didn't want to hear. The bubble had burst and the rest of the 116 players made it through to Day 2 and into the money.

The flop came 5♦10♦J♦ and the big blind checked. Trevisani bet 12,000 and the big blind folded.

Mathias Moutaoukil: 10♥10♠

The board ran out 8♦4♠8♠9♦7♣ and Nikolaou rivered a straight to win the pot. He apologized to his opponent, who was reduced to just 4,000.
