Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Christopher Andler was faced with two all-ins from short-stacks and he decided to be a hero and made the call to put them both at risk.

Player 1: K♣J♥
Player 2: K♥J♠
Christopher Andler: A♠J♦

Andler had his opponents absolutely crushed with his superior jack, and the runout of 3♦6♦Q♥5♣3♥ kept it that way and he scooped the pot along with the two bounties.

McKuin Makes The Bubble Burst

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Claudio Elizalde

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Keith McKuin had a shorter stack at risk, not only for for their bounty but also to potentially burst the bubble, depending on the action of the other tables.

Short Stack: A♥Q♦
Keith McKuin: K♣K♥

McKuin knocked the table to wish his opponent luck and the dealer fanned out the 9♦5♠6♦, keeping the pair of kings in front. The turn was the 2♦ and the at risk player needed an ace and an ace only, but the 6♦ wasn't even close. Depending on the way the other hands played out, that player might still chop a mincash. Either way, shortly after this the bubble was declared burst and all remaining players were in the money.
