button in SafariHughes Eliminates Wheeler to Pop Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 4,000 ante
Daniel Hughes raised to 17,000 from the hijack before Brent Wheeler shoved for his final 72,000 from the big blind. Hughes called and put Wheeler at risk.
Brent Wheeler: A♣9♦
Daniel Hughes: Q♠9♠
Wheeler was in a dominant position to double, but the flop presented some chop outs when it came 5♠6♦7♥, giving both players a gutshot for a chop.
The 10♣ turn did not alter the situation. The river certainly did when it came the Q♥, as Hughes improved to the best hand with a pair of queens, while Wheeler was eliminated.
Players are one spot away from bagging six players for Day 2.
