Kalas Doubles as Bubble Looms
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Tyler Smith, who is sitting on a huge stack, opened the action with a raise to 100,000 from the hijack. Kane Kalas was in the next seat over and three-bet all in for a total of 360,000. Smith made the call and the eight cards were revealed.
Kane Kalas: A♠A♥5♠2♠
Tyler Smith: Q♥Q♦5♣4♣
With just 41 players left in the field and 30 of them getting paid, the bubble is already nearing. Kalas would still have hope of making the money, however, when his aces held on K♦8♠K♣K♥5♦.
