Then Busts

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

A very short-stacked Armando Then moved all in on the button, and Chris Lyons looked him from from the small blind with "ace-rag." Then turned over {k-}{5-}, and Lyons extended his lead on an ace-high flop. The turn and river were both blanks, and Then hit the rail.

Cohen Cut Down

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Jesse Cohen open-shoved for 199,000 in late position, a player in the small blind cold-called, as did Adir Davidov in the big blind, who left 137,000 behind.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades}, the player in the small blind moved all in, and Davidov called.

Davidov: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Cohen: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Small Blind: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

Davidov held up as the turn and river bricked {7-Clubs}, {3-Hearts} respectively, and Cohen was eliminated in 22nd place.

Not to Burst Your Bubble...

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

After Nancy Martin eliminated a player holding {a-}{a-} against the all-in opponent's {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, the remaining 55 players in Event 15: $300 $75,000 Guaranteed Deep-Stack NLHE Reentry were on the exact money bubble.

On one of the first few deals of hand-for-hand play, a gentleman named Amine Chab raised in late position, and a short-stacked player moved all in for 38,000. Chab called.

Chab: {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Player: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

"Ace-queen is a nice hand," one player at the table said.

"For now," grunted the at risk player.

That last bit was a pinch of foreshadowing, as the dealer fanned a flop of {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}, giving Chab a leading pair of sevens, and the turn and river completed {9-Clubs}, {3-Hearts} respectively.

The bubble is now burst, and the remaining 54 players are guaranteed a minimum of $508.
