Troha and Nennstiel Bubble Boys

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sean Troha
Sean Troha

Daniel Schill opened the action on the stone with a raise to 15,000 under the gun. Sean Troha then shoved his remaining 35,000 on the button, and Schill was "priced in" to make the call. The two waited for floor direction to table their hands.

Sean Troha: JJ All in
Daniel Schill: A4

Troha was far ahead, but the table started to get rowdy as the dealer put out the 283 flop. Schill wasted no time in wiping his opponent's equity, as he locked it on the 5 turn, making the 3 river inconsequential.

Hand 2:

Yang Lei open ripped 300,000 from early position, and Carson Nennstiel made the call from the small blind.

Carson Nennstiel: AK All in
Yang Lei: A6

It was an awful start for Nennstiel, as the flop came J36, and he stone bubbled alongside as the board ran out 56.

Tarlo Eliminated One from Stone Bubble

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Just two players away from making the money, sparks flew at table #139. Thi Ngo opened the betting with a raise to 13,000, before Jeremy Van Der Linden on her direct left three bet to 35,000, before Antoine Winfield ripped all in for 51,000. Van Der Linden called, and the two went to showdown on the floor's signal.

Antoine Winfield : 55 All in
Jeremy Van Der Linden: A3

The board took no prisoners, as Winfield didn't hold on the 27KJ10 runout, to multiple "ooooh"s from the table. "That's the nuts!" announced one of the players.
