Huck Seed Bursts the Bubble

Level 14
Huck Seed bursts the bubble
Huck Seed bursts the bubble

Stud 8

A flock of people gathered around Huck Seed's table. Seed sat there, a sheepish grin on his face, and said "I got the worst hand. Go away." The cards were face up and Seed's opponent was ahead but at risk:

Seed: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Short stack: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Fourth street was the {7-Spades} for Seed to move him into the lead. The dealer would quickly put out fifth and sixth street and the hands looked as follows afterwards:

Seed: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Short stack: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades}

No lows were possible and the at-risk player would need to pair up one of his cards in order to stay alive. He squeezed the card the dealer gave him, and with slight disgust turned the {6-Clubs} face up. That would be the end of his tournament and he would fall short of making the money. The floor announced that they were now in the money and play has resumed.

Israelashvili Doubles Short Stack

Level 14

Razz

Israelashvili: {a-}{7-} / {3-}{10-}{3-}{5-} / {10-}
Opponent: {4-}{3-} / {5-}{5-}{j-}{8-} / {2-}

After a series of raises on third street, the action was capped with a short-stacked player having just 500 in chips behind. Roland Israelashvili bet on fourth, putting his opponent all in and allowing for the cards to be turned over. By the hand's end, Israelashvili made a ten-seven but it was not enough to best his opponent's eighty-five. Israelashvili watched as the chips were shipped to the next seat over and now sits on about 50,000 in chips.
