Shlez Scores Knockout to Burst Bubble

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Action was joined with 85,000 in the pot and a flop of {4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} on the felt.

Vadim Shlez led out for 65,000. His opponent, on the button, moved all in for 270,000. Shlez went into the tank for a few minutes. He eventually emerged with a call.

Button: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Vadim Shlez: {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The button was ahead with his wheel straight, but another club would eliminate him and burst the bubble. After the {9-Diamonds} turn he was a 3:1 favorite to survive and double up. Unfortunately for him, the {3-Spades} hit the felt on the river, which gave Shlez a six-high straight, just enough to scoop the pot and burst the bubble.

The remaining 140 players will all take home a minimum cash of $2,405.
