Nam Le Takes His Chance
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
It can't be fun to be all in on the bubble, so it must have been with enormous relief that Nam Le survived unscathed. His 
came good on a 
and he doubled to 94,000 through Chance Kornuth.
Annette Gets Aggressive on the Bubble
Roger Teska raised to 14,000, and Annette Obrestad called. Eric Liu joined them on the button, and Andy Black called out of the big blind. "Remember, I've got you covered," Annette said to Teska. The flop came 
. Black and Teska checked, and Obrestad checked as well. Liu stuck out 30,000 in position, and it folded back to Annette. She potted, sliding another 100,000 in front of her. That would put Liu all in on the bubble. He took two minutes to think it over and decided to fold, saving himself 85,000. Annette chipped up to 255,000 and looks perfectly at home pillaging a tournament bubble.
D'Angelo Calls Nguyen's Bluff to Burst the Bubble
Men Nguyen raised to 16,000, and Ryan D'Angelo announced pot. The bet he slid out was 5,000 short of the 57,000 in the pot, and Nguyen tried to argue that he hadn't actually said "pot," but the dealer and the rest of the table heard it, so it stood. Nguyen called.
The flop fell 
, and Men asked the dealer how much was in the middle. The dealer responded that it was 123,000. Nguyen moved all in for less, 107,000 to be exact. "Uh, I'm really not getting good flops." As the rest of the tables finished their hands, the players crowded around the table. G0lfa asked if anyone else had busted, but no one had. The other tables were waiting for him to make the call or not. He had Nguyen slightly covered, but a call wouldn't leave him with enough chips to make it through more than another hand or two. Nguyen, meanwhile, was breathing hard and looked like he might swallow his tongue.
With a curse under his breath, D'Angelo nodded and announced a call. Nguyen didn't want to turn his up, but aware of the Master's love of waiting til the last moment to table the nuts, G0lfa asked the dealer to make him show. Nguyen was embarrassed by the bluff gone wrong, but the dealer took the cards out of his hand and spread them on the felt.
Nguyen: 
D'Angelo: 
D'Angelo was stunned to see how far ahead he was. The 
turn and 
river were anticlimactic. Nguyen didn't say a word. He didn't make eye contact with anyone or tell D'Angelo it was a terrible call. He just picked up his backpack and walked away. And the table instantly erupted in congratulations for G0lfa's call, for his choice of bubble victim, and for making the money. D'Angelo is up to 380,000, and everyone is guaranteed $10,000.

, and Alexander Kostritsyn moved all in. Another player shoved on top for slightly more, and Ran Azor called them both.
Short-stack Kostritsyn:
Middle stack:
Big-stack Azor: 
The turn and 
river were made to order for Azor, giving him a straight and missing his opponents. He notched a double knockout and moved up to 450,000.
Boatman Keeps Head Above Water
We arrived tableside to see the cards already on their backs.
Ross Boatman:
Daniel Makowsky: 
Board: 
"F***ing hell, an eight?" sighed Makowsky as he paid up.
A giggling Boatman doubled to 80,000. Makowsky was left with 85,000.
