Buzgon Crippled; The Bubble Bursts

"Wacek18"
"Wacek18"

Hand #1: In Level 24 with blinds of 8,000/16,000 and an ante of 2,000, action folded to Daniel "leinad" Buzgon in the small blind and he jammed for just under half a million effective. "xxx6395200" was in the big blind and called.

Daniel "leinad" Buzgon: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
"xxx6395200": {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs} to give "xxx6395200xxx" quads en route to an easy double. Buzgon then doubled through "xxx6395200xxx" on the following hand to get a little bit of breathing room, while "Wacek18" found themselves at risk for their tournament life on the adjacent table.

Hand #2: "Wacek18" open-jammed under the gun for 82,000 and received a call from "King_Icon" in the cutoff. All remaining players folded.

"Wacek18": {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
"King_Icon": {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

After holding the chip lead through a solid portion of the late registration period, "Wacek18" needed to hit a three outer to stay alive and avoid becoming the bubble finisher in the tournament. Instead, they watched the board appear 100% in their opponent's favor, coming {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} to officially burst the bubble with "Wacek18" finishing in 15th place.
