Bithell Handed a Cooler; Bubbles MSPT $1,600 Main Event

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Andres Gonzalez de Agustin
Andres Gonzalez de Agustin

A series of preflop raises saw Andres Gonzalez four-bet jam from the cutoff sending Oliver Bithell deep into the tank from the big blind.

With Bithell already having committed half of his, he asked for a tournament director the rules on possibly chopping the 135th place prize if another player were to be eliminated in the same hand.

After getting the conformation he wanted to hear, he decided to risk his 261,000 stack, ending in what was said to be a 15-minute tank.

Oliver Bithell: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Andres Gonzalez : {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Bithell was racing for his tournament life and pulled ahead after the {9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop paired his ace.

However, the turn came the {q-Hearts} giving Gonzalez a gutshot straight draw and unfortunately for Bithell, the dealer dropped the {10-Spades} on the river to complete Gonzalez's straight, making Bithell the bubble boy.

Mulders Risks Tournament Life on Money Bubble With Perfect Read

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Daan Mulders
Daan Mulders

There was heads-up action between George Tomescu and Daan Mulders with a completed board of {6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Spades} showing.

With roughly 400,000 already in the middle, Tomescu led out with an all-in bet sending Mulcers deep into the tank.

A good amount of time went by before a clock was called on Mulders but it didn't take him much time to call off his 222,000 stack after the tournament director started the countdown.

Tomescu got caught bluffing and tried mucking his cards facedown but the dealer rolled them over {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} while Mulders showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} to win the monster pot on the money bubble.
