Why Aces Are Bad Bubble Material

From middle position, a player opened with a raise to 14,000. Shaun Pitt made the call from late position, and the two men went heads up to the flop.

It rolled out {8-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}. The raiser checked over to Pitt, who bet out 30,000. His opponent then check-raised all in for his last 80,000, and Pitt made the call. Pitt held {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} but he was well behind the {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} of the at-risk player.

The turn was the {9-Spades}, and there was just one more card to fade.

River: {Q-Hearts}

The stomach-churning two-outer hit the river for Pitt, and he sends a player to the rail on the bubble, shaking his head in disbelief. The money is now one step closer for those riding their short stack.

One Away!

There are 667 players remaining, meaning there is one final bubble boy or girl left to go out! If multiple players go out at once in this situation, all of them will split the last-place prize money.

Hanging on for Dear Life

As is probably the case around the room, there is a player at table 41 with a very short stack, doing all he can to make it to the money. Right now he seems content to make the money in the Main Event. He currently has around 15,000 in chips.

The action should be wild and crazy once we reach 666.

Prunkos Goes Brokos on the Bubble's Bubble

Andrew Brokos rasied to 9,000 from under the gun. Dominic Prunko called from the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Spades} and Prunko led for 12,000. Brokos shipped it in and Prunko made the call.

Prunko held {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} from the big blind and Brokos held {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts} from under the gun.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and then the river was slapped on the felt... the {8-Spades}!

Prunko took this sick beat to go out a few spots short of the money.

There was an eruption from the Blue section, and it spread throughout the room. It appears we have found our bubble boy. Details shortly! Three tables are still playing the same hand.
