Roman Voitovs Really, Really Doesn't Want to Bubble

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

According to the table, Roman Voitovs tanked for "ten minutes" as the money bubble was approaching. It wasn't that he didn't have a decision, it was that he didn't want to bubble with pocket aces.

He ended up getting all in and at risk on the flop against an open-ended straight draw. He held and was very relieved. Once the hand played out, the table agreed that it was understandable why he waited so long.

While he was scooping in the pot, the floor announced that hand-for-hand play has officially begun.

Ruijs Scoops Two Three-Bet Pots

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Evandro Guimaraes raised to 12,000 and Joris Ruijs three-bet to 31,000 from two seats over, which Guimaraes called. The flop came {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Guimaraes checked, Ruijs bet and won the pot.

One hand later, Guimaraes made it 13,000 to go and Ruijs three-bet again, this time to 36,000. Guimaraes called and the duo checked the {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and the {Q-Clubs} turn. There was no betting action on the {4-Spades} river either and Guimaraes flashed his cards, then mucked when Ruijs turned over his {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of queens.

The field has been reduced to the last 1,086 players and the dealers have been instructed to finish their current hand. Once that is taken care of, the tournament will be played hand-for-hand on the money bubble with two spots away from a $15,000 min-cash and the end of Day 3.

Laurence Grondin Finds Aces Near the Bubble...Twice!

Grondin got up to 210,000 at one point, and she now sits with 185,000 just a few spots from the money.

Peter Jetten and Christoph Vogelsang Play a Pot Near the Bubble

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The money bubble is looming, and while many people are taking their time to make decisions, some are still playing pots with the hopes of accumulating as many chips as possible.

The latter was true for Peter Jetten and Christoph Vogelsang in the small and big blinds, respectively. With about 110,000 in the pot already, on a board reading {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, Jetten checked and Vogelsang took about a minute before betting 35,000. Jetten stared Vogelsang down for a short while before deciding to call.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Jetten checked again. Vogelsang tanked for another minute or so and decided to check back. Jetten tabled {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for two pair, jacks and sixes. Vogelsang then showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for two pair, aces and tens, and scooped up the pot.

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Tom Cannuli
Tom Cannuli

After Matthew Moss opened to 14,000 in early position, a player in middle position went all in for 77,000. It folded to 2015 November Niner Tom Cannuli on the button and he called. The blinds folded and so did Moss.

Cannuli: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
All-in player: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. Cannuli held with the ladies, eliminating his opponent and collecting the pot as the bubble looms closer.

Boeree Takes from Craft and Patel

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Mickey Craft opened to 17,000 from middle position and the button called before Neil Patel and Liv Boeree came along from the blinds.

The flop of {7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} was checked through as the {6-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Patel led out for 27,000.

Boeree called, Craft called, and the button folded as the river landed the {J-Hearts} and everyone checked.

Patel tabled his {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, but it would be Boeree's {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} that would see her pushed the pot and move her stack up to 440,000.
