Senie Gets Lucky

Brian Senie was down to the felt. He had three chips left, two yellows and one blue. That totaled only 2,500. He was just the big blind and was now sitting in the small blind position. All play had finished, or so he thought. At table 29, a crowd was gathering. And for Brian Senie, it would be a $20,000 crowd.

"Are you hear because you're waiting to watch the bubble boy?" he asked as we stood near his table.

"Not so fast," we responded, "there's an all-in over on table 29."

"Really?"

Brian made his way slowly toward the crowd, trying not to get his hopes up. He was about halfway there when a floor staffer turned and started clapping. "Congratulations everyone!" the floor man yelled.

Brian's face became red, and a huge smile appeared as he walked back toward us. When he arrived at his table, everyone there shook his hand, as he just survived the bubble. Barely.

Needless to say, he was all-in on the following hand and was one of the first to bust immediately after the bubble.
