Double Trouble on the Bubble

Two players will be splitting a minimum cash as the bubble bursted with two eliminations in the $2,500 Freezeout.

Anthony Ruberto chose to ship his final 106,000 from early position on the bubble and was called by Gary Hasson from the hijack to put Ruberto at risk.

Anthony Ruberto: A♣K♣ All in
Gary Hasson: Q♥Q♠

It was the classic race between big slick and pocket queens, and it was the queens that prevailed this time as Ruberto was unable to find his outs on the 3♦2♠5♠9♦9♠ board to eliminate Ruberto.

At another table, an all-in also occurred when Nicola Karl from the small blind Siegfried Kapeller in the big blind battled in an all-in pot with Kapeller at risk.

Siegfried Kapeller: Q♦Q♥ All in
Nicola Karl: 8♦5♠

Kapeller held a significant lead over Karl, but the flop was disastrous for Kapeller as it fanned out A♦8♣5♣.

The 9♦ did not help Kapeller's chances of staying alive, and the 7♦ river sealed his fate as Kapeller shared the bubble with Ruberto.
