Blomberg Snaps Off McCullough
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Colton Blomberg and Patrick McCullough built a pot of around 100,000 as they went heads-up to a flop of 6♠3♣4♦. Blomberg then bet 20,000 in the cutoff, McCullough moved all in for around 150,000 in the big blind, and Blomberg snap-called.
Patrick McCullough: 8♥8♣ 
Colton Blomberg: K♥K♣
Blomberg turned over a pair of kings and was poised for a knockout under McCullough's pair of eights as the board ran out K♠7♦, improving Blomberg to a set and sending McCullough to the rail.
Griffin Benger and Xuan Liu were also among the wave of players to bust shortly after the bubble burst.
