Mader and Hamby Bust

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

In stark contrast to the pre-bubble period of the past two starting flights, players are flying out the door here on Day 1c.

At one table, Phil Mader went bust when he got {a-Spades}{6-Hearts} all in preflop for his last 60,000 or so and ran into the {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} of the big blind. The board ran out {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}. According to Mader, he had opened preflop and been called in one spot before the big blind accidentally min-raised when trying to call. Mader said he then shoved over and was called by the big blind.

Right after that, Jared Hamby opened under the gun and Johanssy Joseph three-bet on the button before calling Hamby's ship for about 100,000.

Hamby: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Joseph: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The kings held on the {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board.

With 50 left, hand-for-hand play has begun.
