Bubble Trouble... Double!

Level 16

Razz

While we were waiting for the elimination at the adjacent table, Brent Hanks got himself all in as well. It was a Razz pot that we joined on sixth street.

Hanks: (x-x) / {5-}{5-}{2-}{a-} / (x)
Kelly: (x-x) / {4-}{q-}{6-}{k-} / (x)

Hanks bet on sixth street, leaving himself just 2,500 back. Kelly went ahead and raised him in, and Hanks stood up to sweat his fate. It was about three or four minutes of pause before the floor man came over to mediate the hand. Kelly rolled over {5-}{2-}, then pulled an {8-} to make an eighty-six. Hanks had started with {a-}{4-} buried, and he needed to pull a three, six, seven, or eight to stay alive.

Hanks squeezed, then rolled over a nice red {7-} to secure his double. He's back to about 48,000 now, while Kelly is knocked back to 45,500.
