Shaner Yo Eliminated on Bubble

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Shaner Yo
Shaner Yo

Ethan Ellis raised it up from middle position, making it 22,000 to go. Action folded around to Shaner Yo in the cutoff, and he elected to shove the remainder of his small stack.

Ellis made couldn't call quick enough, and it was clear why when he rolled over pocket aces. Yo was playing pocket tens and would need to hit to stay alive. The board of {3-Spades}{4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} ran clean for the aces though, sending Yo to the rail in the last non-paying spot. All remaining players are now guaranteed at least $2,476.

Pham Survives on Bubble

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Anh Pham opened the betting with a raise to 2,200 from the hijack, and he was called by the player on the button. On the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop, Pham bet 22,000 and got a call.

When the turn came {k-Diamonds} Pham shoved all in for 140,000, sending his opponent into the tank.

"Ace-king?" he asked Pham, before open-mucking a pair of jacks. Pham showed the {a-Clubs} and nothing else as he mucked his hand.

Clisby Sets The Trap

A player in middle position raised to 17,000, Chris Clisby called in the cutoff. The button and big blind came along as well.

The flop came {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and the action was checked to the button who moved all in for 100,000. The first two players folded and Clisby snap called.

Clisby: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

Clisby had his opponent drawing nearly dead. The {5-Hearts} turn locked it up and the {4-Diamonds} river completed the board. The players are now on the stone bubble.
