Anthony Thompson

John Schroeder raised to 23,000 from the cutoff only to have the small blind three-bet jam for 120,000 and Eddie Blumenthal came over the top for roughly 145,000.

Action was back on Schroder who mucked his hand, and the two players tabled their hands.

Opponent:
Eddie Blumenthal:

Blumenthal was way ahead and improved after an ace appeared in the window on the flop.

The turn did give Blumenthal a sweat as it gave his opponent the wheel draw but the paired the board on the river and secured him the elimination.

Mader Bubble's; Steinman First in the Money

Anthony Thompson

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There were two eliminations that happened before the hand-for-hand process started.

The first player to fall was Robert Steinman after his pocket aces were set-up by Ravi Raghavan's pocket kings.

While Steinman was standing waiting to see if he was the official bubble, MSPT Hall of Famer Rob Wazwaz exclaimed "Bubble burst! Bubble burst!" at the table just behind Steinman.

Bubble Hand History:

Wazwaz raised from early position and action folded to Phil Mader who defended his big blind to see a flop.

Mader quickly jammed for his remaining stack and Wazwaz snap called.

Phil Mader:
Rob Wazwaz:

Mader flopped top pair but was way behind Wazwaz who flopped top-two.

The turn wasn't the worse card for Mader as it brought possible chop outs if a jack were to fall on the river, but it came the , improving Wazwaz to a full house.

With two players eliminated at the same time, Mader became the official bubble holding less chips with 73,000 while Steinman held 99,000 to take 117th place for $2,013.
