Awerbuch and Majed Split Last Payout as Bubble Burst
During hand for hand at bubble time, Joshua Reichard opened to 25,000 under the gun. Action folded to the big blind Chad Awerbuch who shoved all-in for 163,000. Reichard called taking them to the flop.
Chad Awerbuch: 5♥5♣
Joshua Reichard: K♣J♣
The flop came K♦J♥Q♥ immediately giving Reichard a two pair. Awerbuch was quietly calling for a five to drop but the runout 7♦3♠ didn't help him at all, making him one of two players that burst the bubble.
Right after the hand finished, the floor moved to the next table to have the hands turned over after the following action.
Rene Majed open-shoved all-in for 106,000 on the button and got called by big blind Carlos Lam taking them to showdown.
Rene Majed: A♠J♦
Carlos Lam: A♣8♠
Majed had Lam dominated and was quite confident for a double-up. The flop came 6♠K♠5♥ giving Majed no sweat at all. The turn 2♣ didn't change the situation. But the river dashed his hopes as Lam spiked a pair when 8♦ fell.
Awerbuch and Majed will be splitting the last payout of $1,649 between them.
