Big Hands:
Michael Reed Busts to Officially Start the Bubble
Michael Reed raised from under-the-gun and Daniel Idema three-bet and Reed called off the rest of his chips. They were off to the races as Reed showed AK and was up against the 66 of Idema.
The board ran out 5310J10, which you will notice does not contain an ace or a king, meaning the sixes hold up and Reed is eliminated in 20th place. Hand for hand play will take place until we lose one more player and are officially in the money.
Aces for Keikoan
Simon Morris raised and Matt Keikoan three-bet, which was called by Morris. The flop came 8QK and both players checked.
The turn was the 4 and Morris bet and was called by Keikoan. The 2 river brought the same action and Morris turned up K10, good for top pair, but Keikoan showed AA, and would take the pot and increase his stack to 190,000. Morris dropped to 170,000.
DeBora Hanging On For Dear Life
A severely short stacked Greg DeBora got all of his chips in the middle preflop and was called by Jameson Painter. DeBora held pocket nines and Painter held the J5.
DeBora’s hand held up and he doubled up to 55,000.
Gallin’s Kings Keep Him From Being the Bubble Boy
Matthew Gallin raised and Kenny Hsiung three-bet. Gallin committed the rest of his chips with a call.
Gallin held KK and Hsiung held the 44. The board ran out AQ822, keeping Gallin in the tournament for the time being.
