Bubble Of The Bubble

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With 38 players left, and the top 36 getting paid, play has slowed down here for some time, no-one wanting to bust out and lose their chance at winning the $100,000 first prize.

Sometimes, You've Got It

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Paul Tartak and Michael Oscuro have been dualling it out for a large part of the day. This time, after Oscuro min-raised preflop on the button, Tartak called from the small blind.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Tartak check-called 15,000 from Oscuro. The turn brought the {10-Hearts}, Tartak checked, and Oscuro bet 60,000 this time.

"You have a hand every time", said Tartak and folded. Oscuro indeed had it and showed {6-}{8-} for the straight.

Blinds: 5,000/10,000

Ante: 10,000

Tartak's Tens Keep Him In

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

Four from the money here and Paul Tartak was all-in with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} versus Michael Oscuro's {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for Tartak's last 133,000 chips.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

A ten on the flop was about all that was needed and Tartak got the double-up.

Susnig's Queens No Good

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

Luciano Flops A Flush

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Majed Haddad, David Nirens and Sammy Luciano were in a pot where Nirens bet the monotone flop of {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Spades} and both Luciano and Haddad called.

On the turn of {a-Clubs}, Nirens continue with the lead, betting 50,000. Luciano then raised to 150,000, Haddad called and Nirens folded.

On the river {k-Diamonds}, Luciano casually picked up a stack of blue 5K chips worth 80,000 and put them in the middle, leaving himself with about the same behind. Haddad called and was shown Luciano's {k-Spades}{q-Spades} for a flopped flush.

Haddad showed the {a-Spades} as he mucked, and Luciano scooped a pool of chips that took a couple hands to stack.
