Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With the bubble bursting, multiple calls of “Payout!” are ringing throughout the tournament area as dealers alert the floor of a bust out.

This is the time when players on short stacks, most of whom refrained from putting in their chips close to making the money, now seek to double up.

Jonathan Zarin ran into this situation when a player in front of him went all with a small stack. Zarin, who had the player covered, called to put his opponent at risk.

Opponent: A♥4♥
Jonathan Zarin: 3♦3♥

The dealer fanned 10♥8x5x on the flop, keeping Zarin's small pocket pair in the lead. The 9♦ showed up on the turn, followed by J♦ on the river to give Zarin a knockout and a bounty chip.
