Sarah Bilney Eliminated Just Inside the Bubble

While the bubble was bursting across the room, Sarah Bilney was intently debating her decision.

From early position, she puts in a preflop raise to 3,500. Action folds around to the big blind, Claudio Fonseca, who reraises it to 8,900. Bilney makes the call.

The flop comes {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Fonseca bets out all in, and Bilney goes into the tank. After several minutes, she does indeed make the call, putting her tournament life at risk with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. Fonseca tables the {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, and is behind.

The turn rags off, {J-Clubs} , but the river card is not what Bilney was looking for. The {2-Diamonds} fills the gutshot straight for Fonseca and sends Bilney packing.

Because we were hand for hand, and two players were eliminated, Sarah Bilney and Christian Iacobellis will share the prize money for 153rd place, $3,476.
