Double Bubble Bust Outs Bring in the Money

Level 14 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Two simultaneous bust outs on two separate tables have burst the bubble and brought the tournament straight through to the money.

Over on the live-streamed feature table, Emmanuel Seal moved all-in from under-the-gun for his last 67,000 and was looked up from one seat over by Tam Truong.

Emmanuel Seal: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Tam Truong: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

The {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades} runout saw Truong's pocket nines hold, and Seal hit the rail just shy of the cash.

Over on the other table and ace-king also proved no good for Australian Poker Hall of Famer Gary Benson, who got his last 60,000 in pre-flop with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and found a caller in Shivan Abdine holding {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} so it was off to the races once more.

The {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts} runout again favoured the pocket pair and Abdine stacked up to 470,000 while Benson departed emptyhanded to guarantee the remaining 21 players an AU$11,080 payday.
