Sow Bursts the Day 2 Bubble

Dan O'Hair

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Kalidou Sow opened to 20,000 from early position and Clement Bonnant shoved for 264,000 total from the hijack. Action folded back around to Sow, who went deep into the tank. Several minutes passed by before Sow decided to calll all in for his last 200,000.

Kalidou Sow: J♣J♠
Clement Bonnant: A♦K♣

It was a huge coinflip on the stone bubble. The 4♥2♣5♠ flop kept Sow in front, but the 3♠ turn gave Bonnant a wheel and left Sow drawing dead.

The J♥ river improved Sow to a meaningless set and he was eliminated just short of the money.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Nathan Touboul opened to 110,000 leaving himself only 40,000 behind, and Mohamed Tebni moved all in for 135,000.

Being on the soft-bubble, Touboul really didn't like the spot he found himself in, but he had little option but to make the call given it was only 25,000 more and he covered his opponent.

Mohamed Tebni: A♣K♦
Nathan Touboul: 10♣10♥

Touboul was ahead in a race with his tens and no help arrived for Tebni on the 3♣4♥8♣5♣J♠ runout.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

At least 280,000 was in the middle in a hand between Slim Gabsi and Matei Lupascu, with the board reading 7♦4♠A♣7♠5♠.

Lupascu checked to Gabsi, who moved all in for 200,000.

Lupascu went deep into the tank, taking at least five minutes, peering at the board and counting his chips. Eventually a table mate called the clock.

When it got down to 15 seconds, Lupascu suddenly made the call.

Gabsi, who had almost been in a trance during the time Lupascu was taking to make his decision, looked shocked and had to check Lupascu had indeed said call.

Gabsi turned over A♠5♦ for a pair of aces, while Lupascu had 10♠7♣ for a set of sevens, sending him a huge pot.
