Mavro, Shedaker Bubble
Michael Rocco made it 14,000 to go from the hijack seat, and Peter Mavro three-bet all in for about 40,000 from the button. Rocco called with the , and Mavro was in good shape to double with .
Good shape, that is, until the flop crushed his dreams. Rocco had flopped a big lead, and the turn and river secured Mavro's elimination in 28th place.
He needed to stick around and sweat it out, as he'd get to split the bottom payout with any other players eliminated during the orbit. Much to his delight, Paul Shedaker was also eliminated a couple hands later, and the two men will chop up $3,130, almost earning their money back.
The 26 players who survived those four orbits are now guaranteed a paycheck, and we're redrawing the final three tables as we speak.
