The Bubble Bursts Without Hand-for-Hand

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Mikee_2308 bubbles
Mikee_2308 bubbles

Gary "quiditbear" Hasson got the last one and a half blinds in from the cutoff and Alejo "Hugo_Ronzi" Castellazzi reraised to 160,000 in order to isolate.

Gary "quiditbear" Hasson: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Alejo "Hugo_Ronzi" Castellazzi: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Hasson busted a few spots shy of the money. "Darwinsfish" followed and up next, "Old brock" ran out of chips. They three-bet to 101,280 out of the big blind with 209,384 behind and "nic81411" called. On a flop of {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, "Old brock" bet 62,080 to earn a call and check-called all-in after the {5-Diamonds} turn.

"Old brock": {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
"nic81411": {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The river brought the {3-Clubs} and straight, sending "Old Brock" out two off the money.

It was then "Mikee_2308" who three-bet jammed for 196,560" in the cutoff and was called by Guilherme "teruliro" Orrico.

"Mikee_2308": {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Guilherme "teruliro" Orrico: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} board let the bubble burst without any hand-for-hand play, as all these hands happened within 30 seconds from each other.

Double Knockout for "schibe3"

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

"alimounda" jammed for 90,494 and was called by "schibe3" from one seat over, as both players were in middle position. Caio "pessagno" Pessagno got his last 220,408 in from the small blind, which "schibe3" called as well.

"alimounda": {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Caio "pessagno" Pessagno: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
"schibe3": {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

The player from Romania flopped a set on {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop, and the {q-Diamonds} turn ensured the double knockout already. An {8-Clubs} on the river barely mattered, if only, to improve "schibe3" to a full house.

Ustimov Crashes Out Before the Money

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Ustimov vs Pora
Ustimov vs Pora

"panpankracy" min-raised to 32,000 in the cutoff and Viktor "papan9_p$" Ustimov three-bet to 128,000 in the small blind. Dumitru "pora adrian" Pora four-bet to 275,840 out of the big blind to force out the initial raiser. Ustimov jammed for 748,442 total and Pora called with the superior stack.

Viktor "papan9_p$" Ustimov: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Dumitru "pora adrian" Pora: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

There was no ace or king on the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop and Pora earned the checkmark on the {j-Hearts} turn, which made the {a-Spades} river meaningless.

The Bubble is Looming

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Fewer than 170 players remain and among the latest casualties was "pl@ta0plomo". They raised to 64,000 with 13,694 behind from under the gun and check-called all-in after the {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop when facing a bet by Breno "Breno2728" Drumond.

"pl@ta0plomo": {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Breno "Breno2728" Drumond: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The {2-Spades} turn and {9-Diamonds} river brought no miracle, sending "pl@ta0plomo" out one table away from the bubble.

Uselis Flushes Lyubovetskiy

Level 19 : 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

Gediminas "Gedis92" Uselis defended the big blind against a min-raise by Andriy "Andre_Hansen" Lyubovetskiy and check-called the {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop for 21,000. On the {k-Hearts} turn, Uselis check-called for another 84,000 with 262,011 behind and check-called all-in after the {10-Hearts} river.

Lyubovetskiy turned over {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} for a turned set but Uselis had that beat with {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flush.

Two hands later, Lyubovetskiy was at risk with {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} in a multi-way pot and more than tripled up on the {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} board, as Tudor "tdr01" Lazar was unable to deal the final blow with {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}.

Marques vs Mathis
Marques vs Mathis

Patrick "Egption" Tardif made it 28,000 to go and Diego "Die Ventura" Ventura three-bet to 56,000 out of the small blind, keeping 9,548 behind. Tardif reraised and the chips went in.

Diego "Die Ventura" Ventura: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}
Patrick "Egption" Tardif: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} board spelled the end for Ventura not far away from the money.

Mathis Eliminated by Marques

Level 19 : 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

Marty "TheLipoFund" Mathis three-bet jammed out of the small blind for 262,333 and Pedro "pm_marke" Marques isolated successfully out of the big blind.

Marty "TheLipoFund" Mathis: {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Pedro "pm_marke" Marques: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Neither overcard appeared on the {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} board and Mathis had to settle for his collected bounty prizes only.
