A Sweaty Double and Hand-for-Hand

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Osman Mustanoglu opened for 15,000 in middle position and tank-called a three-bet to 45,000 from Stepan Osinovski, out of the small blind. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Osinovski tanked awhile and shoved. Mustanoglu called.

Osinovski: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Mustanoglu: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Osinovski was fading diamonds and then eights after the {8-Spades} turn. The river was a {2-Clubs}. Mustanoglu was forced to send over 122,000.

Tournament staff has taken issue with a player stalling at another table. Given that, with the tournament still two off of the bubble, hand-for-hand play is beginning now.

Andrei Boghean
Andrei Boghean

After the hand for hand was announced Andrei Boghean and Marius Gierse took a few more minutes to finish their hand.

The board read {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Boghean led for 212,000 into the pot of 160,000. Gierse went through several chip shuffling motions. He counted out his stack a few times and then called.

Boghean showed {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for a flush and Gierse mucked. Gierse is now sitting with about 70,000 with two eliminations left until the money.

Leah Ships on Bicknell

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Mike Leah was in middle position and checked a {2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Spades} flop. Kristen Bicknell bet 15,000 from the button and Leah called. He checked a {j-Spades} turn and Bicknell bet 40,000. Leah double-checked his holding and then moved in for 161,000.

"I have a good hand," Bicknell said with a smile.

"I believe you," Leah said, smiling back. "You may have no outs."

After some time thinking, Bicknell folded.

"Were you trying to get me to fold a flush?" she wondered.

Javier Zarco Eliminated on the Bubble

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
WSOPE Main Event Bubble
WSOPE Main Event Bubble

Javier Zarco was all in for 66,000 in the cutoff and received a call from Stephen Ayres, in the small blind.

Zarco: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Ayres: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop was not a particularly good one for Zarco although he did pick up some backdoor outs. Those hopes ended when the {q-Clubs} turned, leaving him dead to the {7-Diamonds} river.

The river completed the board with the {4-Spades}, Zoufri check-called the 44,000 bet of Bicknell. Bicknell showed {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} but Zoufri had her beat with the {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} in his hand to make two pair, fives and fours.
