Marcy Jo Phillips Busts One

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The money bubble is getting closer and there are quite a few short stacks trying to squeak through.

A player in early position shoved about 20,000 and was called by Marcy Jo Phillips.

Phillips tabled {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} while her opponent showed {a-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

The board ran out {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Phillips' pocket queens held, sending her opponent home.

Dave Olshan Doubles Near the Bubble

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Action folded around to Arthur Gates on the button and he raised to 8,000. Dave Olshan was in the small blind and moved all in for 35,000. Gates called.

Olshan: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Gates: {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Olshan was miles ahead until he saw a flop of {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, giving Gates a flush draw.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and Gates picked up even more outs.

The river was the {2-Spades} and Olshan survived.
