The Bubble Has Burst!
Level 11
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Robert Bourkney and Todd Taylor got involved in a hand that saw the board read with Bourkney leading out on the turn for what looked to be around 14,000. Taylor was to his left and raised all-in for 60,000. Bourkney took his time but eventually made the call. Taylor showed for a straight and Bourkney showed for two pair. The river was the improving Taylor's hand to a flush. The chip stacks were close but once the dealer counted them, it was Bourkney with the shorter stack and was eliminated on the bubble.
