Two Ladies Left

Maria Mayrinck
Maria Mayrinck
Our reporter regretted to inform me that there are only two female players remaining in today's event. However, he was able to report a double-through for one of those ladies, one Maria Mayrinck.

All in preflop with {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} against {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}, Mayrinck survived a {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Spades} board, her flopped pair of eights enough to ship her the pot and a timely double through.

Mayrinck now on 14,000.

The Bubble Bursts

A wave of applause and assorted celebratory techniques scurry through the tables as news spread of the exit of Senovio Ramirez.

A kings versus aces cooler is painful at the best of times, but when it's on the bubble, then it is understandably excruciating. Sadly, that was the case for Ramirez, his pocket kings versus Andrew Gordon's pocket rockets unable to hit one of two outs on a 6-T-3-4-6 board.

As Ramirez made the long walk back into the hallway, the players congratulated each other, Andrew Jeffreys in particular shaking the hand of every member of his table. In fact, Dana and I felt so left out, that we shook each other's hands, even though we receive no cash prize for making the top 99.

Le Causing a Stir

One chap who has suffered some bubble-time misfortune is Allen Le. Vivek Rajkumar went all in for 53,000 on the river of a {4-Spades} {7-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} board and Le called. Rajkumar turned over {5-Spades} {7-Spades} for a full house and Le mucked, leaving Rajkumar with 100,000 and Le with virtually nothing.

And indeed, a few hands later, Le busted out. Dan Stir raised with A-K and Le called all in for just 1,200. Amazingly, he'd found pocket queens, but he was still coin-flipping and coin-flipped his way out of the money when Stir hit the {4-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {7-Spades} {9-Spades} {K-Hearts} board.

Bubble-Time Bust-Out

One of those who will not be making it into the happy place that is the money today is Terry Stewart. Dylan Bircheff raised to 10,000 from mid position holding {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} and Stewart called all in from the small blind with {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. The queens held up on the {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} {7-Spades} {8-Hearts} {8-Spades} board, and poor Stewart is no longer in the running.
