Indygone

Some fast and furious action has seen Chalres Indyg hit the rail, while Benjamin Scholl has taken a triple-up.

When we arrived at the table, Scholl, Indyg and Roman Draheim were each firing in plenty of bets and raises before the dealer spread out a {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop. At this point Scholl was already all-in, while Indyg only had a couple of big bets left. By the time the betting on the flop was over, Indyg was also all-in and the three players would be turning their hands over.

Scholl: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Indyg: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Draheim: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The turn fell with a {j-Spades} and the river a {7-Clubs} as Scholl's flopped set would see him take down the main pot to triple-up. Droheim had Indyg outkicked and would take down the side pot to send Indyg out of the tournament.

Roman Brings in the Bubble

The elimination of Roman Draheim has seen the play go hand-for-hand. But that's skipping ahead, before we get there, let's tell you about Draheim's last hand.

Matt Glantz opened up the pot from the cutoff and Draheim re-raised in the big blind. A call from Glantz and the {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop was dealt. This is where all the action heated up, with five bets hitting the felt to see Draheim all-in.

Draheim: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Glantz: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Draheim needed some help that would never come as the turn ({3-Clubs}) and the river ({9-Hearts}) changed nothing and sent Glantz the pot and Draheim out the door.

Tood Whittles Down

Todd Witteles is one step closer to becoming our bubble-boy thanks to Terrence Chan. The hand in question saw Witteles open the pot from under the gun and Chan then three-bet from the hijack. Witteles made the call and a {8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop was dealt. Witteles check-called a bet from Chan and then both players checked the turn ({k-Diamonds}) and the river ({q-Clubs}).

Showdown
Chan: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Witteles: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Chan had his opponent out-kicked by a small margin and Witteles is now in need of some help.

Witteles Bubbles Brutally

Action folded to Nicholas Derke in the small blind, he raised it up. Todd Witteles was in the big blind and put in a raise. Derke made the call and a {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop was spread along the felt. Derke checked the flop and then raised when Witteles put a bet in. Witteles called all in and the two players turned their hands over.

Witteles' {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} was in front of the {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} of Derke at this point and it was extremely bad news as the {3-Clubs} turn gave Derke a straight. The {A-Diamonds} river changed nothing and with that, the bubble is burst and the 18 remaining players are redrawing their seats.
