Brunson Bubbles

After heavy action Doyle Brunson found himself all in on the turn against James Grove on a board of {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

.

Brunson showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

for a pair of aces and tens against Grove's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

for jacks and tens and straight draw.

The river was a cruel one for Brunson as the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

gave Grove the straight to eliminate Brunson from the tournament.

At the very same time Thang Nguyen was involved in a big pot against Ram Vaswani. The board ran out {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

which missed Nguyen completely as he showed {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

to send the pot to Vaswani with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

for a full house.

Both eliminations happened at the same time so they share the bubble boy honors as the remaining 27 players are thrilled to now be in the money!
