Aureus Loses on the Money Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The bubble nearly burned an entire level of play, but it came to a close on this hand.
Edmundo Aureus shoved for his final 17,000 from the cutoff. Aaron Overton re-raised to isolate from the small blind, and the big blind folded as Aureus and Overton went to a showdown with Aureus at risk on the bubble.
Edmundo Aureus: 5♠5♦
Aaron Overton: K♠J♦
Aureus had the edge preflop, but that edge evaporated on the J♠6♦3♦ flop as Overton took the lead with a pair of jacks.
The 9♦ turn was of no help as Overton held the better flush draw with the jack of diamonds.
Aureus would watch his tournament run end on the 2♥ river as Overton took down the pot.
