Stephen Ladowsky Exits in 17th place

Although Djinn was looking forward to using her Gobbobubble pun, it was in fact Stephen Ladowksy who has been forced to bite bubble dust, the likes of fellow shorties Jimmy Fricke, Marc Goodwin, and Tom Nightingale all evading that painful just-out-of-the-money spot.

It was a pretty quick and painless departure, the cool-as-a-cucumber Ladowsky down to just 1.2K before he finally made his move. He'd been teasing us for awhile, and had allowed the blinds to pass more times than we expected, but with an ace showing in Stud, now was a great time to pounce.

As expected, Ladowsky found action in more than one place, with Jesus Ferguson and onetime chip daddy Gary Jones progressing with the hand. But after Ferguson had bet Jones out of the hand, it was on their backs time with Ladowsky looking for a fifth club that never arrived.
