Programming Note

We reached the end of Level 16 still on the bubble. The determination has been made to play on until the bubble bursts. There have already been two all-in survivals; one player called all in with {A-Spades} {3-Hearts} on a board of {9-Spades} {3-Spades} {K-Spades} and found himself against {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. The {8-Spades} hit the turn, and the river was the non-repeating {6-Clubs}. That left the player who flopped a set with just 9,000 chips.

On a different table, David Pham put his opponent all in for 52,000 on a board of {10-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {10-Clubs}. Pham's opponent called with {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}; Pham had total air with {K-Hearts} {6-Spades}. The turn {Q-Diamonds} briefly made things interesting, giving Pham a gutshot straight draw. But the river was the {7-Spades}. Pham is another short stack now, with just 27,000 left.

And so we play on.
