Van Blarcum Raises Out Hansen; Bubble Looms Near
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aaron Van Blarcum was a recent arrival to Table 28 and found himself in the big blind calling a small-blind open to 16,00 from Gary Hansen.
The flop came 
and Hansen made a continuation-bet of 16,000. Van Blarcum raised to 46,000 and Hansen took about five seconds to shoot his cards to the center of the table. Meanwhile, six eliminations have just occurred and two more are needed to burst the bubble.
