Jason Papastavrou Bubbles the $3,000 Limit Hold'em 6-Handed

Tyler Foran

Level 16 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

After a series of raises before the flop, Jason Papastavrou was at risk for his last 28,000 and it was Daniel Vampan looked for the knockout.

Jason Papastavrou: 5♥5♣ All in
Daniel Vampan: A♦A♠

Unfortunately for Papastavrou he ran into the best starting hand in the deck and couldn't find a five as the board ran out 10♥8♦3♦4♠A♣, sending him home on the stone bubble.

The remaining 38 players are guaranteed a payout of $6,024, however, all eyes are on the first-place prize of $148,635, and the WSOP gold bracelet.

Level 16 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

On a heads-up completed board of 4♦10♣3♥A♣Q♣, there was around 130,000 in the pot when David "Bakes" Baker moved all in for his last 15,000.

His opponent, Jorge Ufano, then went deep into the tank for this one. After almost two minutes, he shook his head and slid in his cards to award the pot to Baker.

"I don't think you are bluffing there," Ufano said as Baker raked in the pot.

"If I was bluffing there, I probably would have shown it and be taking pictures, so I think you're good...but who knows..." Baker replied with a smile.

Level 16 : Limits 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Three players saw the 10♠10♣2♠ flop and both Blake Hernandez and Nick Caltabiano checked to Frank Yakubson who put out a bet. Hernandez check-raised and only Yakubson called.

The 7♣ fell on the turn and Hernandez continued with a bet, and Yakubson made the call.

When the Q♠ fell on the river, Hernandez bet once again and tank-called a raise from Yakubson.

Yakubson rolled A♠8♠ for a flush to drag the pot, and Hernandez showed his A♦10♥ before the dealer mucked his hand.

Underwood Turns a Set to Score the Double

Level 16 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

With the 8♠4♦2♦ flop already on the felt, Kerry Welsh and Benjamin Underwood were seen putting in the maximum amount of bets for five-bets total.

The A♠ hit the turn and Welsh checked to Underwood who continued with a bet. Welsh brought a stack of 5,000 chips across the line and dropped them but attempted to pull back some chips to just call. The floor ruled it must be a raise, and Underwood raised again. Welsh called.

The 3♠ completed the board on the river and Welsh check-called Underwood's all-in of 2,000 as he asked "Do you have aces?"

Underwood did indeed have aces as he tabled A♣A♦ for a set. Welsh showed 8♣4♣ before the dealer shipped the pot to Underwood.
