[Removed:363]'s Luck Ran Out on the Bubble

Level 20
Eddie [Removed:363]
Eddie [Removed:363]

As soon as play resumed at the final two tables, the tournament lost three players in short order!

Glenn Engelbert will not be adding a fifth Borgata title to his resume here today and he was followed out the door by Zach Gruneberg, another player with previous Borgata wins. Joel Gumbiner's departure brought them down to the bubble.

Hand-for-hand action only lasted a couple of rounds before the short-stacked Eddie [Removed:363] was felted. His departure in 13th place propelled the remaining 12 players into the money, guaranteed to earn at least $550.

Cameron Tahmasebi was eliminated and that left 16 players in action. They're redrawing and moving to seats at the final two tables. They're still three from the bubble and four from the money.

Here are the players who have departed in early action.

Eddie [Removed:363]

Eddie 'Good' [Removed:363] has been all-in at least three times, managing to claim at least half the pot each time.

In the most recent Omaha HL hand, he was in against Carl Restifo and a John Didio, who continued betting into the side pot.

Didio scooped the side pot, felting Restifo, and when [Removed:363] squeezed his cards, he uncovered a qualifying low yet again to take half the main pot, leaving him with 20,000.
