Buell Scores a Double Elimination with Aces to Burst the Bubble
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
While the tournament director was asking dealers to stop dealing as the bubble has approaching, a three-way all-in and call situation occurred at Table 112.
Carl Norris shoved for 56,000 from under the gun, Juha Helppi was in the cutoff and at risk as well for 290,000 and Steve Buell was in the big blind and had them covered.
Carl Norris:?K?10? 
Juha Helppi: K?Q??
Steve Buell: A?A?
Norris found a bit of hope with the 7?J?J? flop which gave him a flush draw. But the 3?A? runout didn't change anything and he was eliminated.
Helppi was slightly covered by Buell, so he was eliminated well and the bubble burst on this hand.
