Eslami Bubbles

[user80015]

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Ari Engel opened to 7,000 from the hi-jack and Ali Eslami made the call from the small blind to see a flop fall.

Eslami checked and Engel continued for 7,000 before Eslami check-raised to 16,000 leaving himself a single 500-denomination chips. Engel called - originally believing it was an all in - but then committed the additional chip when the landed on the turn. Eslami called and was at risk of being the bubble boy.

Eslami:
Engel:

With Eslami needing a diamond, ace, king, jack or five to stay alive, the river would land the to end his tournament on the stone bubble.

The remaining players are now guaranteed $5,617.

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

After a raise of 7,000 from Zhen Cai, David Baker moved all in over the top for about 16,000 more. Action folded back to Cai who went into the tank.

"This is the worst hand I've played all tournament," Cai said.

"Feel free to throw it away," Baker replied. "I know I've got you crushed so just pitch it so we can stop wasting time."

"Well, I guess this is how you win tournaments," Cai said before finally tossing in a call.

Cai:
Baker:

"Wow, you do have me crushed," Cai said to Baker upon seeing the hands.

The board rolled out giving Baker the a sixty-four low and a pair of threes for the win, doubling him up just a few eliminations away from the payout spots.

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

In a battle of the blinds we found Matt Woodward and Vladimir Shchmelev committing 22,500 each before the flop was spread by the dealer.

Woodward checked and Shchmelev bet out 20,000 before Woodward called all-in for roughly that amount.

Woodward:
Shchmelev:

With Woodward holding a virtual lock on the high with his flopped full house, the on the turn would give Shchmelev a low.

However it would be the devastating on the river that would see the whole pot over to Shchmelev as Woodward would be forced to make a nasty exit to the rail after being hit with Shchmelev's one-outer.
