Imagine how gutted you would be if you bought into the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event and navigated your way through several days of action only to crash out on the money bubble and having to return empty-handed. Now imagine how elated you would be if that happened but then the folks over at ClubGG gave you back your $10,000 buy-in.

ClubGG's incredible WSOP bubble protection promotion continues with four more events eligible for having their bubble protection. Scores of players were protected in The Housewarming, the Monster Stack, the Millionaire Maker, and the Colossus after signing up for a $49.99 per month ClubGG subscription.

There are many reasons to sign up for a subscription at ClubGG, including being able to win your way into live events worldwide, including the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. But perhaps best of all, being a ClubGG subscriber protects your bubble for all of the events shown below.

  • Event #66: $1,000 Mini Main Event - July 1 to 3
  • Event #68: $1,000 Million Dollar Bounty - July 2 to 7
  • Event #70: $10,000 Main Event - July 3 to 17
  • Event #85: $1,500 The Closer - July 15 to 18

The three WSOP tournaments above are all covered by ClubGG's bubble protection. Finish exactly one place outside the money, find a PokerNews or ClubGG representative at the WSOP, give them a few details, and if you are a ClubGG Platinum member you will receive your first buy-in back as WSOP credit for future events. Players should head to the GGLounge, located between Bally's and Paris, between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Vegas time to claim their prize.

Andrade Puts on a Show

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Gabriel Andrade and Scott Lum went heads-up to a flop of {5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} when Andrade bet 1,200 from the button. Lum called.

"Pair the board. Because last time you didn't pair the board," Andrade told the dealer as the {4-Spades} was turned over.

"It's coming to a theater near you," Andrade continued as he announced a bet of 3,000. Lum again called to see the {2-Diamonds} on the river.

"Four thousand. Final offer," Andrade said as he bet again. Lum called as Andrade showed {k-Spades}{9-Hearts} for top pair to take the pot.

"Sold," a tablemate said.

"How did you know the nine was coming," Lum asked Andrade after the hand.

"Sometimes shit happens," he replied.
