Bubble Boy?

We have an all in and a call on Table 13. Devin Jarreau and Blake Purvis get all their money in before the flop, and the entire room gathers around as we await the outcome.

Purvis wishes Jarreau luck, who laments his precarious position, being at risk of an out-of-the-money finish. "Who are you kidding, nobody here is rooting for me!" he exclaims. "Everyone throw $100 on the floor for me."

From across the room, Marc Fratter hollers, "I'm not going to have $100 until they pay me!" which draws a rare belly laugh from the whole room.

A few players, Ed Jatho and Floyd Vanderford among them, draw $100 bills from their pockets, content to pay Jarreau off to ease the situation in a show of classic sportsmanship.

The hands are turned over, with Purvis showing {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and Jarreau racing him with the {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

Salvation comes on the flop, as the dealer runs a board of {K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}, and Jarreau doubles up to stay alive.

"You all hate me, I'm sorry!" he says, grinning.

So, we're still stuck at 28 for the time being.
