Rezaei Bursts the Bubble
Level 16
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Armin Rezaei raised to 50,000 from the cutoff, and Orhan Ates called from the big blind.
The flop came AxJx4x, and Rezaei continued for 35,000. Ates made the call.
The 8x landed on the turn, and Rezaei kept his foot on the gas with another bet of 75,000. Ates called once again.
The Qx completed the board, and Rezaei applied maximum pressure by putting Ates all in for his tournament life on the bubble. After a short deliberation, Ates made the call.
Orhan Ates: Qx10x
Armin Rezaei: Ax9x
Ates had rivered a pair of queens, but it was not enough to overcome Rezaei's pair of aces. Ates was sent to the rail as the unfortunate bubble boy, while the remaining players were guaranteed a payday and the mystery bounties came into play.
