Dovzhenko Won't Die
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Now inside the money, Alexander Dovzhenko was all in with a single ante again and was up against a pair of jacks - but somehow he managed to make trip nines to septuple up again.
He promptly resumed folding.

Woe For Womack
The bubble has burst and we are now in the money! The unfortunate bubble boy is none other than John Womack who was all in for his last chips on sixth street against Alex Kravchenko.
Womack: (
) / 
Kravchenko: (
) / 
Womack's jacks didn't improve as Kravchenko took it down with a set of kings. Womack leaves empty-handed as the remaining 40 players are thrilled to be in the money, especially Alexander Dovzhenko who was down to his last ante!

Dovzhenko Spared Bubble - Just
We're not sure how it came to this, but Alexander Dovzhenko was all in for an ante. Yup, just one 200 ante.
There were, naturally, several players in the hand, but Scott Epstein pushed all of them off by betting every street. Christine Pietsch was the last to fold, making it as far as sixth street before she gave it up. The cards were flipped - and Dovzhenko's two pair was good enough to roughly septuple up to 1,400.

Hand-For-Hand Play Continues...
...and in Seven Card Stud that can take a while! The average hand takes a lot longer to deal than a typical Hold'em game, with more cards to deal out and five rounds of betting action.
The bubble is taking a few minutes to burst but we've got our eyes on a couple of short stackers who are hanging on for dear life!
Bubble Time Tension Almost Turns to Violence
Names shall be withheld to protect, well, everyone, but this very unlikely exchange occurred just now while hand-for-hand play was in progress.
A brand new dealer arrived at the table.
Player 1, to the dealer: "You smell bad."
Player 2, to Player 1: "Dude, you can't talk to her like that."
Player 1, standing up: "Oh really?"
Player 2, also standing up: "I deal with ***holes like you at the Commerce all the time."
Thankfully this little fracas was broken up before any further nastiness could occur.
What did everyone have for dinner earlier? Wow.
Bubble Fun
We're now on the money bubble and all tables have been instructed to go hand-for-hand. One unlucky soul will go home with nothing as the other 40 players will celebrate being $2,985 wealthier.
Blatte Splat
David Blatte was first crippled and then eliminated from the tournament to leave us on the money bubble.
After leading the betting on every street, Blatte was forced to fold on the river to the bet of his opponent Hani Awad. The boards were:
Blatte: (XXX) / 
Awad: (XXX) / 
This left Blatte with just 3,100 in chips and they were all in soon after against Lewis Lipsey.
Blatte: (
) / 
/ (X)
Lipsey: (
) / 
/ (X)
Lipsey made a set of aces on sixth which Blatte couldn't better and he was sent to the rail as our bubble-bubble boy.
Explosive Hand Completely Fails to Erupt
Richard Ashby: 
(X) / 
Glenn Engelbert: (XX) where one of the unknown cards was also a club / 
In what was a very small pot by this point, Richard Ashby bet out on sixth street and Glenn Engelbert raised; Ashby called. Then they both checked seventh street.
Engelbert turned over an ace-high flush. Ashby turned over a full house.
"I cannot believe that went check-check," said tablemate Scott Seiver.
"I have kings up and I catch the flush and I still lose," lamented Engelbert, who was presumably rather relieved they had both checked the river.
Current standings - Engelbert down to 9,000, Ashby now chip leader on 115,000.
Mizzi Gets Busy
James Laird: (XXX) / 
Jon Turner: (XXX) / - fold
Sorel Mizzi: (XXX) / 
James Laird bet out on third and fourth streets and both Jon Turner and Sorel Mizzi called; on fifth street Sorel Mizzi was first to act and he bet out. Laird called and Turner gave it up.
Mizzi bet out again on sixth street and Laird called once more, but the seventh street bet from Mizzi was too much for Laird and he finally folded.
Mizzi's stack was back up to 58,000 after that.
