Russell Survives with Aces

David Russell and bubble frenzy
David Russell and bubble frenzy
David Russell was all in preflop for around 30,000 with Eugene Katchalov deciding to take a shot at bursting this bubble.

Russell: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}
Katchalov: {A-Spades}{j-Hearts}

As the cards were announced over the loud-speakers, 648 players suddenly erupted in chants of "Jack! Jack! Jack!"

The flop brought a sweat as it arrived {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} to the "oooohs" of the entire Amazon Room.

The anti-climax was the {7-Clubs} turn and {7-Hearts} river. Russell doubles and the bubble continues...but maybe not for too much longer. Over on table 154, Kia Hamadani will be all in for just his 500-chip ante on the very next hand! Stay tuned!
