Rockets versus Cowboys Cooler Brings Bubble

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Richard Hayes

Level 13 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a huge pot, Jokimas Jancevicius was all-in for 425,000 and just covered by Johann Berger.

Jokimas Jancevicius: K♥K♣ All in
Johann Berger: A♥A♣

It was a brutal cooler on the soft-bubble, and there was no escape for Jancevicius on the J♦10♣6♦J♠Q♥ runout. The tournament is now hand-for-hand on the bubble.

The crestfallen Jancevicius informed PokerNews that was his eighth bullet at the tournament. Last chance saloon for the turbo flights Jokimas!

The board read J♠9♠2♣5♠10♠, Ozsezgin rivering the one-card nut flush.

Level 13 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Rosario Saddemi opened to 24,000, and received a call from Kosmas Barakos , before Krenar Dervishi three-bet jammed for 190,000. Saddemi rejammed for 490,000, and Barakos got out of the way.

Krenar Dervishi: Q♥J♥ All in
Rosario Saddemi: 10♥10♦

It was a fair fight, but Dervishi missed the 8♥3♦3♥6♦10♠ runout, despite flopping a flush draw, and pleading with the dealer throughout to assist him.
