The First In-the-Money Elimination

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The eliminations are coming fast and furious now that the bubble burst, but the first player to exit with a payday was Vojtech Ruzicka.

It happened when action folded to him on the button and he raised to 4,000. The small blind folded, and then Kunal Patel, who had a big stack, moved all in from the big blind. Ruzicka called off for 36,500 and the cards were turned up.

Ruzicka: {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Patel: {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Both players held an ace, but Patel's kicker made him a favorite. There was a decent chance the two would chop, but not after the flop came down {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Patel paired his eight. Patel began to pull in some chips, but paused when the {5-Hearts} turn have Ruzicka a gutshot straight draw. Patel waited for the {J-Clubs} to complete the board on the river and then recommenced the collecting of the pot.

Ruzicka exits in 117th place and will take home $5,035.

Badmayev Makes a Huge Call to Burst the Bubble

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Oleg Badmayev has just made a huge call to burst the bubble here in Event #29.

The board read {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Badmayev checked to his now busted opponent. He jammed all-in for 58,100 in total and there was at least that in the pot. Badmayev went into the tank for a full five minutes, during which time his opponent sat staring at the five community cards.

Eventually, Badmayev called and turned over the lowly {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Amazingly, those treys were good because his opponent flipped over {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a myriad of missed draws.

Everyone with chips in front of them is now guaranteed at least $5,035.
