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

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.

Tyler Foran

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.
