Double KO on the Bubble
There were two all in and calls on the stone bubble.
At one table, Evan Sandberg from under the gun was tangled with the big blind in a single-raised pot.
On the 6♥5♣2♥ flop, the big blind got the rest of his 185,000 stack into the middle, at risk against Sandberg who called.
Big Blind: 10♥10♦
Evan Sandberg: K♠K♣
Sandberg had the dominating overpair and held through the 5♠7♠ runout to send out his opponent on the stone bubble.
At another table on the same hand in another single-raised pot, James Smith from middle position called after the big blind check-jammed for his 69,000 stack on a flop of Q♦9♥7♥.
Big Blind: A♣Q♥
James Smith: K♥10♥
Smith had a gutshot and flush draw against the top pair, top kicker of his opponent. The J♣ turn completed his straight, and Smith also hit the 5♥ on the river for good measure.
The final 114 players are now bagging their chips for Monday's restart.
