Rafi Amit is our bubble boy, at the expense of Eugene Todd. Here's how the hand went down.

On a flop of {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

, Todd checked from the small blind, Amit bet 4,000, Todd reraised enough to put Amit all in, and Amit called. Todd showed {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

{7-Spades}

for top pair and the open-ended straight draw. Amit showed {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

for top pair and a lesser straight draw.

The turn was the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and the river the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

. That river gave Todd his straight, and Amit is out in 73rd.
