The Bubble Bursts: Sullivan Gets His Revenge By Cracking Arun's Kings
Wow! What a bubble hand!
Just about 15 minutes ago, Arun C. caught a lucky ace against RJ Sullivan's pocket kings to double up and stay alive on the bubble. Well, Sullivan got his revenge by returning the favor against Arun and cracking his kings, but this one was a little more on the dirty side.
David Tuthill raised to 10,500 from the hijack seat, and then Sullivan reraised to 26,500 out of the cutoff seat. On the button was Arun, and he reraised all in for 92,500. The two blinds folded, as did Tuthill, and then Sullivan went into the tank. His tanking lasted a couple of minutes while he counted out his stack and asked the dealer to pull in the 26,500 bets. Eventually, Sullivan made the call, but the hand he turned over dropped jaws around the table.
Arun confidently tabled the 
while shouting to his rail about how he looked at one king and then another. Sullivan tabled the 
for two suited, unpaired undercards.
Then, this happened...
The flop came down 
to give Sullivan a pair of fives. He was still behind Arun's kings, though, as the dealer dealt the 
on the turn. Sullivan now needed a nine, an eight, or a five to send Arun home as the bubble boy.
The dealer burned one final time, then ripped off the 
to deliver Sullivan with trip fives. Arun shot up out of his seat in disarray as he couldn't believe what just happened. The entire table seemed to get smile and get a laugh out of the situation, while Arun did a little bit of ranting about the beat he just took.
With that, the remaining nine players were all in the money and guaranteed $5,000. Official chip counts will be posted shortly after the players bag and tag.
