Flesch Doubles On Bubble

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Play was held up over on the table with Mike Flesch.

The board was showing {8-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} with 25,000 in the middle.

Flesch had shoved for 42,000 and was called. The floor gave the go-ahead to run it out and he was at risk.

Mike Flesch: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Flesch was in great shape with his pair of queens and the {10-Clubs} completed the board to send him the pot.

Two Players to Share the Bubble Cash

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

At two separate tables, the big blind was forced all in for their last 5,000 chips before they could look at their cards.

At one table, Stephen Baze flat called from the cutoff and everyone else folded.

Big Blind: {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Stephen Baze: {a-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} to have the big blind dead on the turn.

Two tables over, Leo Whitt called from the button with only a couple thousand behind. The small blind also called.

The two players checked down the {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{k-Diamonds} board and the big blind thought he had survived with his {a-}{j-}.

The small blind had a meager {8-Clubs}{6-Spades} but Whitt flipped over {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} for top two pair.

Both eliminated players were forced to share the 401st-place bubble cash, each recouping $800.50 of their $1,000 entry.

Tomorrow Never Dies

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Jeff Bond
Jeff Bond

Jeff Bond is no longer seated at his table.

It appears that he squeezed into the money with his short stack but busted shortly after.

Although he is out of this tournament, this likely isn't the last time we see Mr. Bond.

Zakheim Rivers the Goods, Nearing a Half Million

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a five-way limped pot, the board came {j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} and it checked around to Scott Zakheim in the hijack, who bet 17,000. A player in early position called and James Woods called from late position.

On the {7-Hearts} turn, everybody checked. Everyone also tapped the table on the {a-Diamonds} river, with Zakheim turning over {a-Spades}{5-Spades} to win the pot.
