Will Shillibier

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Earlier on the bubble, Thai Ha was saying that he wouldn't be folding aces despite other shorter stacks existing around the tournament room.

Now with the bubble burst, Tony Miles opened to 25,000 and Ha was all in for the same amount. Uri Reichenstein was on the button and three-bet all in and Miles folded.

Thai Ha:
Uri Reichenstein:

Metaal Eliminates Kuether on the Money Bubble

Adam Lamers

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

After an excruciating 90-minute money bubble, Joseph Kuether was forced all in for 8,000 as the big blind ante. At the Aria, the ante is paid before the big blind and therefore Kuether was only playing to get his 8,000 chips back. Govert Metaal raised to 28,000 in the hijack and the rest of the table folded.

Govert Metaal:
Joseph Kuether:

The flop came and Kuether would need runner-runner outs in order to stay alive. The turn brought the to give Metaal a full house and Kuether was drawing dead to the on the river.

The remaining 79 players will each be guaranteed at least $20,000 and the hand-for-hand process is now finished.

Another Double on the Bubble

Will Shillibier

The cards were then turned over

Andrey Kotelnikov:
Jeremy Ausmus:
