Henry Survives, Then Busts the Bubble

Image
No all-in-and-a-call for 27 hands, now there's action on back-to-back hands at Table 30. Henry Zou and Parm Soni are going at it, Zou at risk. Zou has Queens and has run in to Kings. There's a Queen in the window, no King comes on the turn or river, and Henry gets his double, leaving Soni now as the shortstack with about 6BB. Both players get their stacks in the middle preflop on the very next hand, Zou with AQ and Soni with Sixes. There's an Ace in the window this time, Zou flops his card each time. Soni cannot recover and Soni is the money bubble. 29 hands on the bubble today. Players are taking a 10-minute break, staff is coloring up the 100s and everyone is in the money.

When a player who is NOT in the hand calls for the cameras to come over, that's a pretty good sign there's plenty of action taking place. I show up to see a       flop and three players - including David Rounds (above) - all in and their cards already tabled. Rounds is showing     for top set Challenger 1 is showing     for bottom set Challenger 2 has     for flush and straight flush draws The turn   completes the flush and makes the straight flush draw now a Royal draw. Rounds finds Barry Greenstein,   on the river and it goes boat-over-boat-over-flush. The player with the flush, who came from behind to take the lead on the turn, is eliminated and Rounds moves to 61,000. Level - 4 Blinds - 100/200 Antes - 25 Entries - 40 -- Dan Ross
