Jeremy Becker opened the action with a rase to 50,000 from the hijack. It then folded to Joe McKeehen on the button who three-bet to 350,000, leaving just 25,000 behind. It folded back to Becker who made the call.

The flop came 6♣8♠2♦ and Becker bet 25,000, and McKeehen called to put himself at risk on the bubble.

Joe McKeehen: K♦K♣ All in
Jeremy Becker: A♥A♣

It was a brutal cooler for McKeehen, who was left drawing dead after the A♦ on the turn gave Becker a set, and the 5♠ on the river officially made McKeehen the bubble boy.

Joe McKeehen opened to 50,000 from middle position. It then folded to Sean Perry in the small blind, who used a time extension, before moving all in for 165,000. It folded back to McKeehen who made the call to put Perry at risk.

Sean Perry: A♠A♦ All in
Joe McKeehen: K♥J♠

It was exactly what Perry was looking for as the short stack on the bubble, but the K♠Q♠10♥ flop gave McKeehen outs.

However, the board ran out 7♦2♦ and Perry's aces were still best, to give him the double up.

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Matthew Wantman was all in for 295,000 with Jeremy Ausmus putting him at risk.

Matthew Wantman: 7♠7♣ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: A♣9♦

It was a race with Wantman in front, and when the board ran out K♦8♠3♠5♠J♠ Wantman improved to a flush to secure the double up.

Ausmus was left with just 45,000, but the very next hand he was able to double up with pocket aces against Joe McKeehen's Ace-jack.

Then Ausmus was again all in the very next hand with another monster, pocket queens. But this time Victoria Livschitz had the aces, to send Ausmus to the rail just shy of the money.
