Hands and Storylines:
Bubble bursts at last
Hand-to-hand action lasted far longer than anyone could have liked, but at last it is over. Bob Lauria, down to just a few hundred chips, moved all in and Nam Le made a raise to go heads up against Lauria. Le held A-Q while Lauria held J-9. Unfortunately for Lauria he never had a chance. Le flopped two pair and rivered a full house and Lauria headed home without any more money to stuff in his wallet.
Witteles moves in, survives, but doesn't double
Todd Witteles has twice been all in only to chop the pot. Both times he was a significant favorite preflop, and the board was a straight one time and a flush the other time. So while he was unable to double up, he did survived the bubble and squeak into the money.
Le doubles up with set
Playing limit hold'em, Nam Le got all his chips in the middle against David Levy on a Q-10-7 flop. Le held a set of sevens and was way ahead of Levy's pocket kings. The turn and river were blanks and Le doubled up again to move up to about an average chip stack of 30,000 chips.
