Soft Bubble Blues; Down and Up for Coombs
Level 17
: Limits 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Hand 1:
Heads up on a turn reading 10♥A♠7♥4♦, James Eng placed a bet and was called by Michael Coombs.
They saw a river 5♦ and Eng bet again, which Coombs called. Eng tabled A♥7♣ and Coombs launched his hand in the much, leaving him with a short stack.
Hand 2:
Coombs took the blinds once and just one shuffle later was facing a raise from Ryan Johnson in early position. Coombs responded with a reraise and Johnson put the rest of his short stack in the middle. Coombs just barely had him covered and made the call.
Ryan Johnson: A♥10♦ 
Michael Coombs: J♣J♥
The board ran out Q♦8♦J♦10♥6♠ and Coombs found himself with a workable stack just before going to hand for hand.
