Adam "nonce" Owen Goes Out on the Bubble

Adam Owen
Adam Owen

Blinds: 6,000/12,000/1,200

In a hand that started out relatively tame an "action flop" saw two players get it all in.

After Matt "RubberFist" Stout limped the button three players saw a flop of {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Adam "nonce" Owen checked the small blind, the big blind checked, and Stout bet 22,200.

Owen then check-shoved, which got a fold from the big blind, but a call from Stout. With that, the cards were revealed.

Adam "nonce" Owen: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Matt "RubberFist" Stout": {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Owen had flopped a monster draw against Stout's bottom set, but unfortunately, the former didn't get there as bot the turn and river bricked. Owen was eliminated on the money bubble in 21st place.
