Once Upon a Bubble Double

Level 31 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

Guillaume Nolet raised to 100,000 and Samuel Vousden called all-in from the button for 27,600, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau called in the big blind. On the {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Vaskaboinikau check-folded to a bet by Nolet.

Samuel Vousden: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Guillaume Nolet: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

The {a-Spades} turn sealed the double for Vousden and the {4-Hearts} river was a formality.

Nolet then three-bet jammed his massive stack into Andras Nemeth, who called for 952,385 total.

Andras Nemeth: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Guillaume Nolet: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Nemeth doubled thanks to a {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Spades} board!

Fast forward one more hand as Vousden was at risk and Nemeth called in the big blind.

Samuel Vousden: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Andras Nemeth: {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The pair held thanks to a {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board.

Quick Eliminations After the Bubble

Level 31 : 25,000/50,000, 6,000 ante

As soon as the bubble burst, the short stacks got their chips in and the first three seat open took roughly one minute.

Niklas Astedt was the first to fall when {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} came up short versus Elio Fox, who entered the showdown with the {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The board ran out {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Fox turned locked it up on the turn.

Aram "Pusha T" Zobian pushed with {q-Clubs}{7-Spades} into the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} of Artur Martirosian and found no help on the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} board.

Sean Winter bowed out in a three-way all-in that put another dent into the stack of Bert Stevens, as Yuri Dzivielevski made queens and tens.
