Michaelann Moser Eliminated, Bubble Bursts

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Michaelann Moser - 8th Place
Michaelann Moser - 8th Place

With her stack dwindling by the orbit, as the inexorable toll of blinds and antes whittled her down to just 4 big blinds, Michaelann Moser made her stand with an open-jam from the hijack.

Her last 22,500 went into the middle on the strength of an ace, but Moser's {A-Spades}{4-Clubs} was in bad shape when Jim Boyd looked her up with {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Although the most likely scenario in this spot was a chopped pot, Moser knew the sight of a six on board would spell disaster.

Flop: {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Moser winced when the flop paired Boyd's hand and not her own, and while the {4-Spades} turn was the best card in the deck for her (giving her outs to the remaining fours in the deck, as well as spade flush possibilities), the river card came {a-Hearts} to give both players two pair.

Showing the generosity of true gentlemen, the remaining seven players immediately ponied up $200 each in cash or chips, providing Moser with a parting gift to ease the pain of bubbling.

Boyd, meanwhile, continued his volatile ride, as his chip stack has fluctuated wildly during the last level.
