Musumeci Breaks the Bubble

Amanda Musumeci busted a short stack.
Amanda Musumeci busted a short stack.

Amanda Musumeci raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and action folded to the small blind. After a lengthy tank during which he asked what would happen if he busted during the hand-for-hand, a player called the clock. Musumeci and others at the table tried explaining to the player that stalling would do nothing if he busted with less chips than another player, but the player insisted on waiting until the end of the clock to fold. The big blind immediately pushed all in, and Musumeci called.

Musumeci: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Big blind: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {3-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, giving nothing to both players. A {q-Diamonds} turn brought some extra outs for the big blind, but the river was the {3-Diamonds}, and Musumeci was the hero of short stacks everywhere.
