Boutin Wins a Monster Before the Break

In a threeway preflop all-in fest, Burt Boutin bet his last 24,400 on {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, and it paid off.

Up against pocket 4's and pocket 10's, Boutin shouted "ace, queen... ace queen!" Burt nailed his money card when the flop came {2-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The turn and river came {9-Spades}{J-Clubs}, and that was all she wrote.

Burt eliminated Ganesh Krishnan on the hand and severely crippled his other opponent.

After the hand, Boutin is sitting on a stack of about 73,000.

Bubble Hand

We've got the scoop on the hand that burst the bubble. Ray Taylor moved all-in before the flop with pocket Queens for 20,100 and was called a player sitting to his immediate left, who woke up to pocket Aces.

The board came {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} and the Aces held up, eliminating Taylor in 199th place. After a disappointing end to a very long Day 1, Taylor was very gracious in his exit, shaking hands and wishing his table the best of luck.
