Bernard Lee Can Predict the Very Near Future

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

While playing hand-for-hand we had four all ins at once holding the deal. As we were waiting to start at one table, Bernard Lee called me to another table to tell me how aces were about to be cracked.

The button Matthias Eibinger, had been shoving every hand on the bubble; he blindly bet 250,000 and the big blind woke up with aces. The player in the big blind called for his last 115,500 and the players showed the table their hands.

Eibinger: {6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Everyone was laughing saying the aces would get cracked on the bubble. Well as the saying goes its all fun and games until someone loses an eye, or their chips.

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and the table let out a huge roar. Eibinger cracked the aces and eliminated the player, bursting the bubble and stacking more chips.
