Giovanniello Eliminated by Frangias After Bounty Bubble

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On the bounty bubble, Dominick Giovanniello moved all in with a short stack and was called by Demetrios Frangias, who had him covered.

Dominick Giovanniello: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Demetrios Frangias: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Frangias was far ahead but waited anxiously for several minutes as hands at other tables played out.

"Can we see this hand?! I'm stressed out! I know it's gonna be three deuces on the flop!" Frangias said.

Despite Frangias' cynicism, the board ran out {7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs} to give him the winner and for Giovanniello to go out on the bounty bubble.

His cynicism may have been warranted as he told PokerNews he started the day with 179,000 chips but lost heaps when he had aces cracked.

"But I'm still in it!" he said triumphantly.

As it turns out, the bubble had burst in a previous hand and Frangias was awarded the first bounty of the event. Frangias pulled a $500 bounty and the room erupted in cheer as they learned the coveted $250,000 bounty was still in play.
