Reiman Busted, Bubble Arrives

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ty Reiman got his remaining 30,000 or so in on the cutoff with {a-Spades}{4-Spades} and was at risk and dominated by small blind Brad Rhodes, who had {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}. The board ran out {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Hearts} and the recent ring winner headed for the door.

The tournament is now one off the money and dealing hand-for-hand.

Cerminara Doubles Through Raghavan Before Break

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Frank Cerminara
Frank Cerminara

In one of the last hands before break, Frank Cerminara and Ravi Raghavan were all in on a {7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop. The money was already pulled into the middle so we didn't see how much the all-in of Cerminara was worth, but he was at risk.

When action was complete at the other tables, Cerminara flipped his {7-}{7-} for a set and Raghavan showed {q-Spades}{7-Spades} for top two. The board ran out {3-Spades} and {2-Diamonds} and Cerminara doubled up.

Players are on break for 15 minutes, still on the bubble.
