Dowhower Sends Players into the Money

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Zac Dowhower has just eliminated the bubble boy after a preflop clash.

From the hijack, a player moved all in for his last 16,000 and Dowhower called in the cutoff.

Dowhower: {K-}{Q-}
Opponent: {A-}{J-}

Although trailing, Dowhower would spike two kings on the board to eliminate the bubble boy and put the remaining 24 players in the money.

Bubble Miracle for Lindner

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Chris Lindner pushed all in for 42,000 in the cutoff, and Rafael Ibaibarriaga shoved over in the small blind.

Ibaibarriaga: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Lindner: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Lindner expressed regret that he was going to bubble, and a few players pointed out he wasn't done yet.

"All the honeys left," someone said.

"Honey, honey, honey flop," Lindner said optimistically.

It was only one on the {7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} flop, but the {q-Spades} turn was another, giving him a near lock with trips. The {9-Clubs} river was no help to Ibaibarriaga, and Lindner avoided bubble status.

On the Bubble

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The remaining 25 players are now on the bubble as the tournament is currently playing hand-for-hand.

The next player eliminated will be the Tuesday Takeoff bubble boy while simultaneously putting the remaining 24 players in the money with a guaranteed a $292 payday.

Honor Halted

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jack Honor moved all in for his last 42,000 holding {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and the big blind called all in for his last 39,000 holding {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

The board ran out {4-Spades}{2-Spades}{A-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Honor was left crippled with just 3,000.

The following hand saw Honor commit his last 2,000 with the small blind and big blind calling and checking their option.

The flop of {6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts} was checked through before David Spurr bet out 12,000 when the turn landed the {7-Clubs} as the small blind check-folded.

Spurr: {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Honor: {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

The river landed the {5-Clubs} and Honor headed to the rail in 26th place.

A Queen for King

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Brandon King shoved in for 45,000 under the gun, and John Knellinger called in the small blind.

Knellinger: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
King: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

King paired up on the {6-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop, and he hit a {k-Diamonds} on the river for good measure after a {6-Clubs} bricked off on the turn.

"I didn't want to," Knellinger lamented.

Spurr Climbing

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The action folded round to David Spurr in the small blind and he raised to 13,000. Deb Swift called from the big blind as the flop fell {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Spurr checked.

Swift bet out 10,000 and Spurr quickly check-raised all in for 67,000.

Swift folded and slipped to 105,000 as Spurr scooped the pot to move to over 110,000.
