Zobian Gets a Bubble Double
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With three players seeing a board of J♦10♣8♣ and around 70,000 in the middle, Cesar Del Pino bet 20,000 from under the gun and Jans Arends called from the small blind. Aram Zobian raised to 114,000 from the big blind and Del Pino shoved, covering both players. Arends quickly got out of the way while Zobian called with his remaining stack of 219,000, putting himself at risk.
Aram Zobian: 9♦7♥ 
Cesar Del Pino: 9♣5♣
Zobian had flopped the second-nut straight but Del Pino was drawing live to a flush draw. Zobian's straight held up on the 8♥A♠ runout and he took down a massive double up through Del Pino on the stone bubble.
