Trip Deuces for Zanot

Level 16

Pot-Limit 5 Card Double Draw

Action was picked up following the first draw, with Thomas Zanot in early position all in and at risk for 93000 against cutoff player Ryuta Nakai. Zanot drew two, and Nakai opted for one.

Thomas Zanot: 222 All in
Ryuta Nakai: 6633

Zanot remained unimproved flipping over 87 meaning Nakai needed to boat up for the elimination. The J he was given did not help him accomplish that, as Zanot stayed alive.

Bubble Bursts on Obst's Smaller Straight

Level 16
James Obst
James Obst

Pot-Limit Omaha

On the 14th hand-for-hand deal, Joshua Mullins raised to 12,000 on the button. James Obst made the call in defense of his big blind.

The flop hit J910, bringing a continuation from Mullins of 10,000. Obst called.

When the 5 fell on the turn, Obst checked again, and Mullins bet 36,000. Obst doubled-checked his hand, then moved all in with 94,000 chips.

Mullins made the call and the table waited for the tournament director to monitor the rest of the runout.

James Obst: QQ86All in
Joshua Mullins: KQ98

Obst was drawing dead, as his best hand was the queen-high straight he already had.

Mullins flopped the nut-straight to the king. The A on the river gave him a little higher straight, but it was immaterial.

Multi-Tabling Racener Busts on Soft Bubble

Level 16
John Racener
John Racener

Pot-Limit Five Card Double Draw

John Racener was down to 15,000 and spent most of the time away from the table as he multi-tables another tournament. He came back as he was forced all in from the big blind in a hand of Pot-Limit Five Card Double Draw.

All three players drew three after the first draw and the two non all-in players checked, and the same action took place after the second draw, leading to a re-shuffling of the muck cards.

John Racener: AKJ66 All in
Steve Billirakis: 1010553
Benjamin Miner: 99885

Racener was against two pair and and couldn't improve to trips as he was sent to the rail two spots off the money. But he's still alive in his second event.
