Wright Earns Title of Bubble Boy
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Shon Smith raised to 20,000 from under the gun and Donald Wright three-bet jammed in the cutoff for about 65,000 to put himself at risk. Smith thought for a moment before making the call.
Donald Wright: J♠J♥
Shon Smith: A♠Q♥
It was a fair fight, but Smith pulled ahead on the K♣Q♣7♣ flop, pairing his queen. The 6♥ turn and 2♥ river offered no help to Wright, and he was sent to the rail on the stone bubble.
