Van Sanford Ships a Bubble Double
Level 16
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ryan Van Sanford (pictured Seat 3) got his stack of 86,000 all in preflop and was in a race against Javier Sarache (pictured in red), who only had a stack of 92,000.
Van Sanford: 
Sarache: 
It was a flip but Van Sanford needed to improve to avoid becoming the bubble boy. He failed to do so on the 
flop, but the dealer delivered salvation when the 
spiked on the turn. The 
river saw Van Sanford survive the bubble while Sarache was left with just 6,000.
In the very next hand, Sarache moved all in under the gun and Van Sanford isolated with a three-bet from the button.
Sarache: 
Van Sanford: 
The board ran out 
and Sarache also staved off becoming the bubble boy, at least for now.
