Aces vs. Treys, a Bubble Story

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sava Krink

Level 17 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The players waited around 45 minutes for the bubble to burst. Martin Lategui kicked off the action with an open raise to 11,000 from early position. Conor Bergin called from the cutoff, and then Klemens Roiter shoved all in from the button. Lategui, not feeling confident, folded, but Bergin made the call.

Klemens Roiter: A♣A♠ All in
Conor Bergin: 3♥3♣

Aces are probably one of the hands you'd love to see when you're on the bubble, but even better is getting the call from pocket treys. However, the flop had other ideas, revealing 4♥3♦10♠. Even the 8♥ turn and the K♣ river failed to help Roiter and he was eliminated. Bergin was left with a stack totaling over 500,000 chips.
