Todd Bryson Bubbles, We are in the Money!

On the last hand of regular play, before the hand for hand action started, we already lost our bubble boy. Todd Bryson was all in for just 1,225 and he was up against Brandon Cantu.

Bryson drew one card, and Cantu needed two.

Brandon Cantu{9-}{6-}{3-}
Todd Bryson{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}

Bryson was a huge favorite to stay alive, but caught a {4-} to pair up. This gave Cantu many options, since he only needed to dodge a nine, six or any card that would pair up his first new on. Cantu turned over a {10-} and an {8-} giving him the best hand, and the knockout.

Soft Bubble For Turner

Jon Turner
Jon Turner

We are still two spots away from the money, but busting out right now sure feels like bubbling the event. Jon Turner just moved all in for right around 11,000 chips from the cutoff and Stuart Rutter made the call from the small blind.

Rutter immediately drew one cards after which Turner went into the tank. All the players that stood and sat behind him could see he was holding {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds} as he picked his cards up from the table. Turner kept tapping the {Q-Clubs} and eventually he made up his mind not to break his hand.

Rutter turned over {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} and was drawing very live to bust his opponent. Rutter drew the {3-Spades} and knocked Turner out. We are down to 37 players.

The big blind stood pat, and Harman stood pat as well.

Jennifer Harman{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}
Opponent{8-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{2-}

Harman started with the unbeatable combination and managed to double up.

"It's hard to get away from this one," her opponent said as he tossed his strong starting hand into the muck.

We are still three spots off the money.
