Kessler Bubbles Pay Jump

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

Allen Kessler moved all in under the gun for 2,900 clearing the table for Brian Tate to make an easy call in the big blind.

Tate drew two and Kessler drew three.

On the second draw, Tate informed the table he made a good hand and stood pat. Kessler drew two.

Tate remained pat on the final draw and Kessler slightly improved, drawing just one.

Tate opened an {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and Kessler was still alive with a {7-}{5-}{3-}{2-}. Unfortunately, Kessler made an eight which wasn't good enough and fell one spot short of a pay jump.

Derke Busts Bell and Thomas

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

David Bell had been an active competitor all day, but he was all in for a very small amount, alongside Pete Thomas. The player putting the other two at risk was Nicholas Derke.

Derke drew one and Bell drew five, with Thomas drawing two.

On second draw Derke stood pat, Bell drew three and Thomas drew one.

On the final draw Derke stood pat again, as did Bell and Thomas drew one. All hands were turned over.

Nicholas Derke: {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}{2-}
David Bell: {10-}{7-}{5-}{3-}{x-}
Pete Thomas: {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}

Bell and Thomas were both dead, with Bell's ten no good against Derke's eight. Thomas completed his eight by drawing a {3-}, but it too was no good, and he was also eliminated.

Uchida Eliminated by Tate; Play on Money Bubble

Level 13 : 800/1,500, 0 ante

Shunjiro Uchida only had two big bets in front of him, and after opening and getting raised by chip leader Brian Tate, he got the rest of his chips in.

The pair drew one card each on first and second draws. On the third and final draw, Uchida drew one and Tate turned over {8-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-}

"Oh," said Uchida, "I'm dead." He showed {8-}{7-}{3-}{2-}. His final card was a {10-} and he was eliminated.

Play is now on the exact money bubble, with 55 left and just 54 places paid.

Isaia Still Surviving on the Bubble

Isaia check-raised all in for 2,200 and Salazar called. Both players drew one on both remaining draws.

Hernan Salazar: {7-}{6-}{5-}{2-}
Alessio Isaia: {8-}{6-}{4-}{3-}

Isaia went first, slamming a {j-} on the table. Salazar was drawing live to bring the tournament to the direct bubble, but turned over a {2-} to pair and Isaia doubled up.
