The Four Bubble Boys

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Richard Lee, Jimmie Caldwell, Terry Sierakowski and a fourth, unknown player all busted during round-for-round play and will split 81st and 80th place money.

We didn't catch Lee's hand, but Caldwell was all in for his entire stack holding {A-}{A-} and was up against an opponent's {Q-}{Q-}. Unfortunately for Caldwell, a river {Q-} brought his tournament to an end.

Sierakowski was down to less than 4,000 and was in the big blind. Three players limped in and everyone checked down as the board ran {q-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{9-Spades}. One player opened {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a pair of aces, which was good, and Sierakowski was busto.

The fourth player shoved for 112,500 and Jeff Gibralter called with {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}, having his opponent's {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} crushed. The board ran out {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, upping Gibralter's stack to 715,000.

We are now on a 15-minute break.

Ilich Doubles Near Bubble

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Drazen Ilich was all in and at risk with {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades} on a {j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop. His opponent held {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a pair and a flush draw, and Ilich faded both when the turn and river came {a-Hearts}, {7-Clubs} respectively.

"How did I dodge that one," Ilich said after the hand.

With the successful fade Ilich now has 275,000 chips.

Like Father, Like Daughter

Level 20 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

TJ Cloutier's daughter Elizabeth Hymel is in the field today, and just like her father she's chipping up nicely.

Hymel just won a race and eliminated a player holding {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Her opponent's {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts} was crushed after the flop fell {j-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades} and drawing dead when the {a-Diamonds} turned. The {9-Hearts} on the river was just a formality and Hymel won the hand to increase her stack to 380,000 chips.

Cloutier KO's Opponent

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

TJ Cloutier moved all in with the board reading {4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and his opponent made the call. Cloutier's {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} was well ahead of his opponent's [qd qdh] and held when the board ran {9-Diamonds}, {j-Spades}.

"I wouldn't expect anything less from you, sir," tablemate Charles "Woody" Moore commented.

Cloutier laughed and stacked his chips; he now has over 225,000.
