Bubble Bursts in Dramatic Fashion Across Two Hands

Level 17 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ali El-Siblani
Ali El-Siblani

Two hands were going on simultaneously after a long period of inaction. On Table 3, Ali El-Siblani was all in and at risk against chip leader Sergei Petrushevskii.

Ali El-Siblani: QJ All in
Sergei Petrushevskii: KQ

The board ran out A5K25 to give Petrushevskii a pair of kings. El-Siblani fell in 21st place, leaving the players on Table 1 to play out their hand on the stone bubble.

In the other hand, Felipe Costa open-raised to 60,000 and was met with a reraise to 180,000 from Marios Theophanous. Costa then clicked it back to 300,000 and Theophanous called.

The chips all went in on the turn on a board of 6337 and players revealed their cards.

Marios Theophanous: 88 All in
Felipe Costa: AA

The river was the harmless 2 and Costa held with his pocket aces, making two pair with the threes on the board. He won the pot and Theophanous was sent to the rail on the bubble.
