Bubble Bursts in Super Main Event
There was plenty of drama on the Super Main Event Bubble on Day 2b, with four tables paused for all ins. Two players survived, while two players were eliminated and chopped the min-cash of $50,000.
In the first bubble elimination, Robert Cowen was forced all in from the big blind as Orpen Kisacikoglu on the button played against Eric Wasserson in the small blind.
Wasserson bet on the flop of A♣A♥6♦ and Kisacikoglu called. The two then checked down the J♣ turn and 4♣ river.
Wasserson showed 9♥9♠ for a pair of nines to beat out the 10♠5♣ of Cowen and the K♣Q♦ of Kisacikoglu to send the former to the rail on the money bubble.
The last hand to see action was on table 121, where Aylar Lie was forced all in from the big blind and at risk heads-up against Alex Anton after the 3♥3♣5♦ flop.
Aylar Lie: J♦8♥
Alex Anton: A♦K♦
Lie was looking for help but found none on the 3♦ turn, while the 6♦ river gave Anton a flush.
That sent Lie to the rail, where she chopped 202nd place with Cowen for $25,000 each.
