Fraiha Survives the Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The action folded around to Pedro Gusmao on the button who shoved all in without even looking at his cards. The two smaller stacks in the blinds had a decision to make and the small blind opted to fold after a minute. However, Stetson Fraiha wasted little time before calling off his stack of 144,000 from the big blind.
Stetson Fraiha: A♠Q♥
Pedro Gusmao: J♦9♣
The flop came A♥9♥4♠ which gave both players a pair, Fraiha holding the better one. The 6♠ and 3♠ runout didn't factor into the result as Fraiha doubled up on the bubble.
