Vournas Eliminates Hanes Set Over Set to Burst Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Approximately 70,000 was already in the middle on a flop of 9♥3♦2♣ when David Hanes bet 25,000 and was met with an all-in bet from John Vournas which well covered Hanes' remaining 65,000.
Hanes made the call, and barring a miracle, Hanes was destined to bubble this tournament.
David Hanes: 3♠3♥
John Vournas: 9♦9♠
Hanes had run into set-over-set at one of the worst possible times and had one out to save his tournament life.
Unfortunately for him, neither the turn 7♣, nor the river K♠ was the 3♣ he needed, and Hanes' misfortune brought raucous applause from the remaining 153 players, who were all now in the money.
