Day 1c Bubble Popped

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Play did not need to go hand-for-hand during the Day 1c flight, as during the last hand before officials were prepared to go hand-for-hand, a pot broke out between Marat Zinnatullin and Oscar Gutierrez.

Zinnatullin raised to 16,000 from middle position before Gutierrez chose to jam for 70,000. Zinnatullin made the call to put Gutierrez at risk.

Oscar Gutierrez: 10♥10♣All in
Marat Zinnatullin: A♠K♠

It was a classic race of a pocket pair versus overcards, and this time the overcards came out on top as the board ran out A♣Q♦4♣6♠5♥ to give Zinnatullin the pot and eliminate Gutierrez on the bubble.

Erick Torres

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

It was a battle of the blinds as Lance Austin began the action with a limp from the small blind before Marat Zinnatullin chose to raise to 20,000 from the big blind. Austin called to send them to a flop.

Austin checked the 2♣10♥J♥ flop, which led to a bet of 20,000 from Zinnatullin. Austin chose to check-raise to 100,000, which was enough to put Zinnatullin all-in. Zinnatullin wasted little time putting in the call for 86,000 to be at risk as they went to a showdown.

Marat Zinnatullin: K♥J♠All in
Lance Austin: Q♥10♠

Zinnatullin held when the 5♥ turn and the 7♥ river peeled off to give both players a flush.

Asmare Bekalu went all-in for his final 25,000 from early position. Kent Washington called in the next seat over to put Bekalu at risk for his tournament life.

Asmare Bekalu: A♠J♥All in
Kent Washington: Q♦J♦

Bekalu's hand dominated Washington's, and the flop did not compromise that as it fanned out 5♦J♠10♠.

The 6♠ was a great card for Bekalu as it gave him a flush draw and removed some of Washington's outs, and the 3♦ river finished the board to award Bekalu the double-up.
