The Bubble Approaches

No-Limit Hold'em

We just lost Rep Porter in a massive pot, and we are now just two spots away from the money.

Tommy Hang told us how he raised and Porter called to his left. The flop came down {K-}{10-}{7-} with two diamonds and both players checked. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Hang bet 3,800. Porter raised it up to 10,000. Hang moved all in and Porter called his remaining chips off.

Hang showed {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and needed to dodge the board from pairing. Porter had {3-}{3-} but couldn't pull out the win.

John D'Agostino Bubbles Event 52: $2,500 10-Game Mix - Six-Handed

John D'Agostino is our bubble boy.

NL 2-7 Single Draw

John D'Agostino moved all in for his last 7,000 chips or so on the button. Mike Gorodinsky called out of the small blind, and the big blind released. The action was then held to allow the other tables to complete their hands.

"Are you drawing?" D'Agostino asked Gorodinsky.

"One," Gorodinsky answered. "You?"

"I can't tell you that yet," D'Agostino responded, grinning.

D'Agostino then admitted he was drawing one as well, and asked Gorodinksy what he had.

"Seven-five-four-two," Gorodinksy admitted.

"F***," D'Agostino blurted. "Give him a seven, dealer."

"Give me three sides!" Gorodinsky pleaded.

Finally, the players were allowed to deal, and both players received jacks. Gorodinksy's {j-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-} was better than D'Agostino's {j-}{10-}{6-}{5-}{2-} however, and he was eliminated.

The Comeback Duo

2-7 Triple Draw

Dan O'Brien and Chris Bjorin were among the shortest stacks when the money was reached, but they are far from out!

"Are you getting this?" O'Brien just said as we were writing down how he doubled up. "This is the comeback story," O'Brien added as he took a sip of his first beer of the day.

O'Brien was down to just 3,900 chips on the bubble, and right now he's back up to 11,600. Chris Bjorin was just all in for his final 5,000 chips again Brett Richey, and the hand played out like this.

Richey took two cards on the first draw while Bjorin needed one. On the second draw Richey took two and Bjorin stood pat. Bjorin showed a ten-low and Richey was drawing to a better low. He paired up on the last draw and Bjorin doubled up.

On the next hand Bjorin raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and the big blind defended. Both players took two cards and both players checked. On the second draw the big blind took one card and Bjorin needed two again. The big blind lead out for 5,000 and Bjorin hesitated before making the call with just a couple of chips behind.

On the final draw both players stood pat en Bjorin called all in. The big blind tabled {8-}{7-}{6-}{4-}{3-} and Bjorin said that was no good as he tabled {8-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-}. Bjorin and O'Brien are still in the hunt, but a few more double ups would help them out!

Ashby Chips Up

Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Richard Ashby limped in from the small blind, Mike Gorodinksy checked, and Ashby stood pat. Gorodinsky laughed, then drew four. Ashby immediately bet, and Gorodinsky called.

Ashby stood pat, Gorodinsky drew two, and Ashby bet. Gorodinsky called.

Ashby patted a third time, Gorodinsky drew one, and both players checked. Ashby fanned [9x 6x 5x 4x 3], and dragged in the pot.
