Double-Ups for Everyone as Bubble Approaches

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

It's time to get your chips in pronto and hope to double up as the money bubble approaches. 26 players are left with only 23 making the money, and the clock is ticking.

First, Benoit Grobocopatel's {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs} looked to be in trouble against overnight chipleader Abdellah El Ghrari's {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}. The flop of {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} didn't help him, neither did the {9-Diamonds} on the turn, but he let out a roar of delight as the river came {a-Spades} giving him the double up.

A short while afterwards, Christopher Chaudey moved all in from under the gun for his remaining 59,000. Tsunamy called in middle position and the remaining players folded.

Chaudey: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Tsunamy: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Chaudey doubled up.
