Dropping Like Flies

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

Since the money bubble burst the bustouts have come at a frantic pace. 15 players have already made their way to the payout desk.

Guilbert Bubbles in Brutal Fashion

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

The money bubble lasted just one hand. Bustout action replayed by players at the table.

After preflop action folded around to Johan Guilbert in the small blind he shoved all in and was immediately called by Brian Croak in the big blind. It was a bad time for a blind versus blind cooler. The board runout was of no help to Gilbert and he was eliminated on the money bubble.

Yohan Gilbert: {j-}{j-}
Brian Croak: {k-}{k-}

Action picked up on a board of {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades} in a headsup pot with a sizable amount of chips already in the middle. Kristen Bicknell, first to act, checked over to David Peters who then went all in, which sent Bicknell deep into the tank. She tanked for well over three minutes before she released her hand.

David Goodman, first to act put out a stack of 5,000 chips. Lee Markholt would be all in if he made the call, which he did.

David Goodman: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Markholt didn't catch a king on the river and was eliminated a few spots shy of the money.

Action picked up on the river on a board reading {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Poker Hall of Fame member Mike Sexton was part of a three-way all in and had just tripled up, thanks to a great runout and the other two players having pretty much the same hand.

Mike Sexton: {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
First Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Second Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The two players chopped the small side pot, but the first opponent was left short because he barely had Sexton covered in chips.
