First Crop of Money Bustouts

These are the first 20 players who walked away with a min cash to their names.

Kings Get Scott a Double Up

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Kara Scott
Kara Scott

Action started with Jonathan Beck raising it up to 2,600 from the hijack. It folded to Kara Scott on the button, and she cut out a three bet of 6,000, and dropped it in. When it got back to Beck, he thought for a few moments before shoving, and Scott quickly rechecked her hole cards before announcing call.

Scott: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Beck: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The flop brought a couple scary looking cards for Scott, but it ended up being safe as it came {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Scott still had the lead, and she kept it through the {q-Clubs} turn, and the {8-Diamonds} river. After winning that hand, Scott jumped up to 68,000, while Beck was crippled down to 7,000.

Ausmus Applies Pressure

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We happened upon a big hand over at Table 424. When we arrived there was already 80,000 in the middle with a board reading {3-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. We're not sure if there was prior action on the turn and some chips had been pulled in, but we do know that Jeremy Ausmus had moved all in and had about 60,000 in front of him. Zachary Guinn was his opponent and was deep in thought.

"I didn't want to do this so early," Guinn admitted. He seemed twisted as to what to do. "You're killing me man, you're killing me," he went on. After more than two minutes Guinn relinquished his hand. "Ace-king?" he inquired. Ausmus did not reply.

No High Fives for Rakic

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Milan Rakic moved all in for 13,900 and received a call from David Wilhoit on the button. The blinds both folded and Rakic discovered the bad news.

Rakic: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Wilhoit: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Rakic was up out of his seat even before the flop came down {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. Wilhoit spiked a set and left Rakic in need of running fives. The {2-Clubs} turn took away that possibility and the {3-Hearts} river sent Rakic out the door.

Hungry... Why Wait? Grab a Snickles

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

After making the money, a short-stacked Chris Hinders moved all in for 5,200 under the gun. Action folded around to Ryan Snickles on the button and he moved all in over the top, which drove out the blinds.

Snickles: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Hinders: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

The {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{k-Spades} flop gave Hinders a gutshot straight draw, but neither the {7-Clubs} turn nor {10-Spades} river were what he needed. With that, Hinders became one of the many players to bust post bubble.

Jacob Balsiger Busts on the Bubble

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Normally in these kind of tournaments hand-for-hand play can drag on for 30 minutes to even an hour occasionally. And sometimes, there isn't even hand-for-hand play. That was the case here, as last year's 3rd place finisher in the Main Event Jacob Balsiger busted in the hand leading up to hand-for-hand.

The action started with Balsiger raising to 2,700 from the hijack. Mathew Moore was in the small blind, and he three bet it to 6,800. Balsiger tagged along, and the flop came {j-}{5-}{3-} rainbow with one spade. Moore fired out 5,500, and Balsiger called. The turn brought the {7-Spades}, and Moore kept up the aggression, with a bet of 11,500. Balsiger called again, and the river was the {2-Clubs}. Moore bet enough to put Balsiger all in, and after a few moments of thought, he called off the rest of his stack.

Moore rolled over {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, and it was good enough to beat Balsiger, as he mucked his hand. It took the floor staff a few minutes to ensure that Balsiger was the sixth player to be busted today, and sure enough he was, as he became our official bubble boy.

Early Eliminations

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The following four players have hit the rail, and there might have been one other that we missed because the tournament staff have announced that the remaining players will now begin hand-for-hand play.
