Daniel Pearlman ($1,517) and Carlos Guerrero ($1,516) Chop the Bubble Payout
On the stone bubble, Daniel Pearlman was forced all-in from the big blind. Phuong Tran in middle position and Andrew Becker on the button limped to see the flop.
The flop came 6♦K♣2♥. After a check by Tran, Becker fired 18,000, which Tran called.
TheK♦ fell on the turn, and after action was checked to him once again, Becker barrelled for another 40,000, which was enough to make Tran fold, leaving the two remaining players to head to showdown.
Daniel Pearlman: 9♦7♦7♣6♠
Andrew Becker: Ax5♠2♦2♠
The river 6♣ was dealt, and Becker scooped the pot for his full house, giving Pearlman a nervous wait to see if anybody else was going to be eliminated at another table.
On a neighbouring table, Carlos Guerrero was also forced all-in preflop, and was trying to survive against Thomas Zanot and Eli Elezra.
Carlos Guerrero: K♠6♥6♦5♣
Thomas Zanot: 9♥4♦4♣2♠
Eli Elezra: A♠8♣7♠5♠
The runout offered no help to Guerrero, as the 7♦Q♥3♠3♦8♠ was spread across the felt.
As both Pearlman and Guerrero were eliminated on the bubble, they split the minimum payout between them, giving them each a very small profit on their buy-in.
