'Yeah!' ...I Mean 'Oh No!'

[user76023]

As of now, people are constantly getting their chips in, attempting to flip their way towards the upper echleons of the remaining players. The latest being a guy who got all-in with {A-Clubs}

against

preflop.

"Come on, Aces and Jacks..."

As the {A-Hearts}

appeared on the flop, he jumped out of his chair to celebrate until he saw that the flop had been completed with {7-Clubs}

...and the {10-Spades}

. The turn was the {3-Diamonds}

and the other player pleaded for no more Aces to appear. {6-Clubs}

on the river and that was enough.

Time to join the back of the queue for the $$$...

Just Missed Out

Players who did not make it to the money today seem to have included both Andrew 'Tufat' Teng and former EPT winner Jason Mercier.

Paul Illegally Parked

[user76023]

Paul Parker is one of the many players now busting out, he was all-in with {A-Spades}

but in terrible shape against {Q-Diamonds}

and

. Unfortunately for him, the board could only provide him with a mere whiff of a flush draw coming {7-Spades}

The bubble bursting has certainly changed the pace of play. All-in showdowns are happening all over the room and the range players are willing to commit with has widened greatly. Ace-nine popped up twice that I could see and you wouldn't of seen a hand like that turned up thirty minutes ago.

"Don't bluff sir"

MarcC

A short stacked player raised half his stack from UTG and JC Tran called from two seats along. Everyone else folded and when the flop was about to come down {2-Hearts}

Tran said to his opponent "Don't bluff sir".

UTG checked and Tran bet an amount to commit the player if he called. He folded though and Tran tabled {A-?}

with a big smile on his face.

Double Bubble

[user76023]

On the fourth hand of hand-for-hand, we saw two exits. The first was Jeff Greco who called a reraise all-in on a {7-?}

board with {8-?}

against the big stack's {10-?}

. The latter hitting running {10-?}

's to house up.

On the other side of the room, there was a push for about 9,000 with {K-?}

by Petr Kadavy over the top of a 2,300 raise from Jonathan Aguiar holding {A-?}

. A call and a board of {A-?}

X meant that we had a split bubble.

The two players split the 621st money prize of $1,894, meaning both get $947 - $53 less than they paid to enter the event.
