Depaulo Knocked Out on the Bubble by Quads

Tyler Boyer

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Michael Lombardi limped in under the gun before Ryan Depaulo raised all in for 35,000. It folded back to Lombardi who made the call to put Depaulo at risk.

Ryan Depaulo: K♣Q♣ All in
Michael Lombardi: 8♦8♣

It was a fair fight, but Depaulo would need to improve against the pocket eights to avoid being the bubble boy. But after the flop came 8♠9♣8♥ Lombardi flopped quads, leaving Depaulo to running cards to make a straight flush. But once the turn was Q♠, Depaulo was drawing dead and the J♣ officially eliminated him and burst the bubble.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to William Chisholm in the cutoff, and he raised to 12,000. He was called by Bin Weng on the button, and Christopher Csik in the big blind.

The flop came A♠2♠Q♥ and Csik checked to Chisholm who bet out 32,000. Weng then raised to 82,500, which got Csik to fold, and Chisholm made the call.

After the 5♥ on the turn, Chisholm checked to Weng, who went all in for 140,000. After sitting in the tank, Chisholm put in the chips to call and put Weng at risk.

Bin Weng: 7♥6♥ All in
William Chisholm: A♥8♠

Weng raised Chisholm on the flop with air, but he picked up a flush draw on the turn against the pair of aces of Chisholm. But once the river came the 5♣ the pair of aces of Chisholm were still best to take a massive pot and eliminate Weng.

William Chisholm	670,000 340,000	340,000

Justin Vaysman: 8♠8♥ All in
Nan Li: A♣4♣

Vaysman was in great shape for the double up only needing to fade the one over card of Li. But the board ran out K♦9♣A♥Q♥J♥ and Li improved to a pair of aces, to knockout Vaysman.
