Event 16: Bubble Burst

$1500 + $150 + $500 Bounty Big Stack NLH 

On the turn with a board of K T 9 A (no flush) Eugene Todd (cutoff) bet 15k.  Tony Mandia (bb) shoved.  Eugene asked for the count - 248,100 total, which covered Eugene.

He tanked for several minutes until the clock was called.  The clock expired and his hand was killed.  He claimed two pair.  Tony showed QJ suited for Broadway and the nuts.  After folding his next hand, Eugene walked away and missed a couple of hands.

After Kenny Fagioli raised, Chris Bolek (button) shoved for 78,100 on top.  Kenny gave it some thought, then called showing pocket 3s.  Chris was racing with AK off.  The door card was an Ace, which elicited an "OH!" from the watching crowd, but there was a 3 behind it, which brought an "AH!".

The final board was A 6 3 8 8 and Kenny took the pot with a full house.  Chris took the long walk to the exit, today's bubble-boy.

27 players remain, all in the money, and guaranteed to earn at least $3,221 (plus any bounties they've picked up along the way).
