Opponent: A♣Q♠
David Soskin: J♥J♦

Mondegari Goes Runner-Runner to Double on Bubble
Level 15

Ken Mondegari moved all in preflop and was called by bug stack Kenneth Douglas to put him at risk.
Ken Mondegari: K♠Q♦
Kenneth Douglas: Q♥Q♠
Mondegari would need a lot of help to stay alive, and he sure got it as the board ran out 6♣8♠J♣10♣9♥ for him to go runner-runner nut straight.
"Wow! You can't kill this guy!" The table collectively groaned as they had to keep playing.

Soskin Starts Shoving
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 14: Blinds 3,000/6,000/6,000
As the players approach the bubble, play has tightened up considerably and some players, like David Soskin, are using this to their advantage.
He has been moving all in very frequently without much resistance, gaining chips here and there and growing his stack to further make the shove more effective.

Fontamillas Takes it Down
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 13: Blinds 3,000/5,000/5,000
On a heads-up flop of K♣9♣3♦, Lirio Fontamillas checked to his opponent, who bet 18,000 into the pot of around 35,000. Fontamillas then put in the check-raise to 53,000, which his opponent called after a few seconds of thought.
The river came the Q♥ and Fontamillas instantly shoved all, covering the other player, who went deep into the tank.
"Ugh, alright, take it down," the player said as he tossed in his cards and the substantial pot was pushed over to Fontamillas.
