It's the Bubble for Gerding

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Bill Gerding Bursts the Bubble
Bill Gerding Bursts the Bubble

Bill Gerding is officially the bubble in the HPO St. Louis Main Event. He got his last 28,000 in and Bruce Mead called from the big blind.

When the players were allowed to show their hands, Gerding was in the lead with {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} against the {a-Spades}{4-Spades} of Mead.

The board ran out {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Spades}, which looked promising for Gerding until the board went runner-runner flush and put him out in 28th place.

The remaining players are guaranteed at least $2,827.

Kim Doubles Through Baumer

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
David Kim
David Kim

David Kim has gotten several all in shoves through over the last few levels. Just a few hands ago, he shoved all in against two players. Both players folded, Don Baumer was one of those players.

This time Baumer was in the small blind and Kim shoved from early position. Baumer called with {6-}{6-} against the {k-}{q-} of Kim.

The flop came two kings on the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{a-Clubs} board, and the turn and river completed the board with {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

"That's the first flip I've ever won in my life," said Kim as the dealer slid the pot to him.
