The Bubble Bursts

James Gorham
James Gorham
Players have just entered the money.

James Gorham raised from late position to 16,000. The small blind, Nikolay Evdakov, made the call. Both players saw a flop of {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Evdakov bet out 20,000 and Gorham raised all in for 80,000 total. Evdakov made the call. Players around the table and spectators all peeked over to see Gorham holding {9-Spades}{8-Spades} up against Evdakov's {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

Gorham was looking to double up here, until a {Q-Diamonds} hit the turn and gave Evdakov a better two pair. The river was the {3-Spades} and Evdakov eliminated James Gorham on the bubble.

All players have been asked to turn off and put away all cell phones, headsets, and other electronic devices as play continues into the money.
