The Bubble Boy

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The bubble has burst and it was 2014 MSPT Columbus champ Mark Sandness busting just shy of the money.

He lost most of his stack helping triple up a player with jacks when he and a third man got it in against him both holding {a-}{q-}.

A couple hands later he was all in for an ante with {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} in a four-way pot that all three others players checked down on a {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board. Although Sandness made a pair one opponent held pocket sevens.

Alex Watts

Alex Watts just made quick work of Christopher Belflower, sending him to the rail in two quick hands and vaulting into the chip lead.

First he made a straight to double through him, then they both made trip aces, but Watts' {a-}{k-} had Belflower's {a-}{9-} outkicked.

While Belflower has fallen short of the money, Watts is now on 500,000.
