Baltazar Busts Ben Oliel on Soft Bubble in Cooler
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Around 50,000 was in the middle on a board of K♠J♣4♣2♣ in a hand between Jean-Jacques Ben Oliel and Isabel Baltazar in the blinds.
Oliel moved all in for around 135,000 and after a short period of thought, Baltazar called to put Ben Oliel at risk.
The tension built as a crowd gathered to watch while the players waited for permission to reveal their hands, and after about three minutes, they were authorised to do so.
Jean-Jacques Ben Oliel: 7♣6♣
Isabel Baltazar: Q♣9♣
Ben Oliel had a seven-high flush but was drawing dead against Baltazar's queen-high flush, and the 4♥ completed the board, sending the unfortunate Oliel to the rail.
We are now on the bubble.
