Atchison Escapes as Bubble Approaches

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dorman "Pat" Atchison had all of his chips in the middle and was at risk of falling tantalizingly close to our money bubble, but his {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} was in good shape against the {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} held by his opponent.

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Atchison survived his all-in encounter, doubling his stack to just over 40,000 as we begin hand-for-hand.
