Clemens Avoids Bursting the Bubble
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
In a pot of about 68,000 and a flop of 7♣3♠3♦, Stefan Clemens, in the big blind, checked the action to Stephen Graner in the cutoff. Graner fired 20,000, but Clemens went beyond and made it 60,000. Graner called.
The turn J♠ was checked by both players, leading them to the final street. Clemens checked once again on the river 6♦. Graner fired 180,000, sending Clemens to the tank.
Clemens went into deep thought, looking at the clock and counting his chips, which totaled about 210,000. Finally, he folded his hand, and the bubble burst soon after.
