Scott Fitzhugh raised from under the gun. Action folded around to Benny Glaser in the big blind who called. The flop came {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Glaser checked to Fitzhugh. Fitzhugh bet. Glaser raised. Fitzhugh reraised. Glaser raised once more, enough to put Fitzhugh all in. Fitzhugh called and the two turned up their hands.

Glaser: {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Fitzhugh: {A-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

"Wow, you have all my outs too," Glaser said.

The turn and the river were the {10-Hearts} and {5-Hearts} and that gave Fitzhugh the scoop. Glaser was left with an extremely short stack after the hand and was eliminated from the tournament shortly after.

Abdel Hamid Bubbles Event #4: $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

"Why'd I do that?" asked Abdel Hamid regrettably after he had already moved all in and had lost on the first hand of hand-for-hand play.

He stood there waiting as the remaining tables completed their hand. No one else was eliminated and Hamid made his way to the exit.

Another player on the table recalled that Hamid moved all in for his remaining 1,600 with {a-}{3-}{6-}{k-} and was unsuccessful in doubling up.

A relief for the remaining players who guaranteed themselves $2,253 for their efforts.

"Putt Putt" Makes it Through a Couple All-Ins

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Brendan Taylor found himself with a short stack going into the bubble but has survived several all-ins to stay alive.

"Let's go, putt putt!" a player at Taylor's table chanted as he moved all in again.

From under the gun, Taylor moved all in for 900. He was called in three spots by Humberto Brenes, James Douglas, and Paul Sokoloff.

The flop came down {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Action check to Sokoloff who bet. Everyone else folded and the two headed to a showdown.

Sokoloff: {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Taylor: {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{A-Spades}

The board completed with {10-Clubs} and the {Q-Hearts} and Taylor was able to quadruple his 900 into 3,600.

The next hand, Taylor moved all in from the big blind and found himself all in against Paul Sokoloff and Richard Sklar.

Sklar and Sokoloff checked down to the river with the board showing {7-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. On the river, Sokoloff bet and Sklar called. Sokoloff showed {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a pair of sixes and the low, but Sklar showed {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a pair of aces. Those two chopped the side pot. Taylor then showed his {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades} to take his half of the main pot with the nut straight, allowing him to survive for another round.

Taylor is still laughing and smiling despite being in the danger zone here on the bubble.
