Howard Wins a Flip On Money Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With only two players remaining until the money bubble bursts, the action has significantly slowed down. Michael Howard was on a short stack and opened for 80,000 on the button, leaving only 6,000 behind. It folded to Gerald Karlic in the big blind who moved all in and Howard eventually put in his remaining chips to be the player at risk.
Michael Howard: A♦K♣
Gerald Karlic: J♠J♣
It was a classic flip situation and when the board ran out A♠7♣2♣6♣6♦, it was the ace-king that came out on top to score the double up for Howard two away from the money.
