Stausholm Bubbles in Brutal Fashion at the Hands of Keating

The action folded all the way around to Alex Keating in the small blind who shoved all in, and Martin Stausholm called of his last 4,000 chips which put him at risk of being the bubble boy.

Martin Stausholm: Q♣6♣ All in
Alex Keating: 10♣7♦

The players had to wait for the hands at the other tables to finsih, and once they did the dealer was instructed to deal a flop.

Stausholm flopped a flush on the 3♣5♣7♣ board and felt relieved at what he saw.

"And the short-stacked player will double-up," said the tournament director over the microphone.

"No, he still has outs," could be heard from somebody on the rail.

Indeed, Keating did still a chance to win the hand and those chances increased when the 10♦ hit the turn, which improved him to two pair.

A full house is what Keating needed to burst the bubble and that's exactly what he got as the 7♠ fell on the river, which shocked the entire Horseshoe Grand Ballroom.
