Rocco Makes Varas the Bubble Boy of the Tournament
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
With around 225,000 in the middle already, Michael Rocco and Edgar Varas saw the dealer put out a flop of 6♠Q♠8♣. Varas' final 16,000 got into the middle with Rocco trying to bust him.
Edgar Varas: A♠A♦10♠8♦ 
Michael Rocco: Q♦8♠7♣5♦
Varas had aces and a flush draw against the top two pair of Rocco.
The 5♣ turn meant Varas was one card away from elimination. The 7♦ fell on the river, and Varas was the bubble boy for the tournament. The pot was pushed to Rocco, and the remaining 132 were in the money.
