Patrick Watts Bubbles

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

It took three hands to determine who the bubble boy was in the hand-for-hand process and Gauthier Abribat was involved in two of the hands.

Hand #2: Vinny Pahuja open-jammed for his remaining 55,500 from the small blind and Gauthier Abribat called from the big blind,

Vinny Pahuja: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Gauthier Abribat: {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Pahuja was ahead and able to pair his five on the {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop but the {6-Diamonds} turn gave Abribat the flush draw. Abribat was unable to eliminate Pahuja as the river fell the {a-Clubs} and there was another hand needed to burst the bubble.

Hand #3: Caufman Talley opened for 15,000 from middle position and folded after Patrick Watts jammed for 47,000 from the cutoff and was called by Gauthier Abribat from the small blind.

Patrick Watts: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Gauthier Abribat: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Abribat was back again trying to eliminate his opponent on the bubble, this time he was successful as the board ran out {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and he busted Watts on the bubble.

Recent Eliminations

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kenneth Morrison moved all in for around 30,000 from early position. He was called by Matthew Diethelm in middle position.

"Uh-oh," said Morrison, with the remaining players all folding.

Kenneth Morrison: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Matthew Diethelm: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

"Ace me dealer," said Morrison and the flop {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} caused Morrison, who had gotten to his feet, to sit back down again.

The {j-Diamonds} turn, however, saw Morrison rise to his feet once more as Diethelm turned a set and after the insignificant river card landed, Morrison trudged to the rail.

It's Not Just Eliminations

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Daniel Lawrence opened to 14,000 and a second player three-bet to 26,000. Wayne Carlson was in the small blind and four-bet all in for 83,000. The big blind folded and Lawrence thought before moving all in over the top, with the second player in the hand folding.

Daniel Lawrence: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Wayne Carlson: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

There was an ace on the flop of {9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and the {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} run out didn't help Lawrence in his bid to oust Carlson who doubled up.

Going, Going, Gonnet

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Anthony Gonnet was all in for around 40,000 against Richard Blackburn.

Anthony Gonnet: {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Richard Blackburn: {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

The flop {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} was no help to Gonnet but the turn {a-Diamonds} did give him a flush draw, albeit at the expense of giving Blackburn top pair.

The river was the {7-Spades} and he was eliminated.

Kertland Rivers Quads to Eliminate Baybayan, Leaves Shanks With Crumbs

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ryan Baybayan open-jammed under the gun for 51,000, Jesse Kertland called from middle position along with William Shanks on the button.

The {8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop was checked to the {9-Clubs} turn, where Kertland fired out 65,000. Shanks asked for a count and after getting the confirmed amount, announced all in and Kertland quickly called.

Ryan Baybayan: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Jesse Kertland: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
William Shanks: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

Kertland had flopped a set of eights but was out-turned by Shanks set of nines. Baybayan was still alive drawing to a ten but Shanks was in good shape to get a double elimination.

However, the dealer had different plans as Kertland rivered quad eights with the {8-Spades} to eliminate Baybayan and leave Shanks with only two big blinds.

Vark Rivered Out of the Tournament

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Liina Vark got her chips in the middle in a commanding position holding {q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} against the {q-Spades}{j-Hearts} of Gauthier Abribat.

The flop {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} changed nothing, with both players turning a pair on the {q-Clubs} turn. However, the river {j-Spades} gave Abribat two pair and eliminated Vark.
