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 [Removed:564] called from the small blind. Aram Zobian raised to 114,000 from the big blind and Del Pino shoved, covering both players. [Removed:565] 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.
