Brandi Drills Two-Outer to Survive Near the Bubble
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alexandru Papazian raised to 40,000 and was called by Hasan Yalcin before Iacopo Brandi, in the cutoff, moved all in for 360,000. Action folded back to Papazian, who asked for a count before he reshoved. Yalcin quickly folded.
Iacopo Brandi: 
Alexandru Papazian: 
Brandi was crushed by Papazian's kings and at risk of busting right before the money as the board came 
. The river, though, came the 
and Brandi made a full house to double up and knock Papazian down to an extreme short-stack.
Elsewhere, Tinay Aksoy and Walid Bou Habib hit the rail as the field approaches the bubble.
