Three Fall on the Bubble, Split Two Min-Cashes
Table 1:
With three called all-ins on the stone money bubble, the first to get to showdown was Gal Naim and Eyla Maaravi. Naim was all in from middle position for his remaining 170,000, and Maaravi called and covered from the small blind.
Gal Naim: J♣J♠
Eyal Maaravi: K♥K♣
Naim was behind and looked to the board for help. The 2♣8♠4♣ flop didn't bring Naim anything to work with, and the A♥ turn and 3♦ river saw to his elimination.
Table 2:
The floor moved across to the second table, where action folded to Javier Fernandez, who shoved from the small blind, and Nusret Atmaca called for 60,000 in the big blind.
Nusret Atmaca: A♦K♥
Javier Fernandez: 9♣5♠
The flop came 9♦J♦5♦ to give Fernandez two pair, while Atmaca was looking to complete a flush draw to stay alive on the money bubble. The 6♣ turn was no help, and Atmaca missed the 7♣ river as well and was eliminated.
Table 3:
Meanwhile, at another table, Slobodan Ruzicic opened from under the gun, Paawan Bansal three-bet to 30,000 from middle position, and Ruzicic shoved for 201,000. Bansal called with a covering stack, putting Ruzicic at risk in a pot worth over 100 big blinds.
Slobodan Ruzicic: Q♣Q♥
Paawan Bansal: K♥K♦
Ruzicic was dominated with pocket queens against Bansal's pocket kings. He found no help on the 4♦5♣2♠2♥6♥ runout, resulting in his elimination.
The three players who were eliminated on the bubble will split two of the minimum cashes, each taking home €5,565.
