Adams Doubles Up Without a Joker

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

A deal has been agreed on, the details are still to follow.

In the first hand, after the deal had been agreed and the last of the current level, Timothy Adams called on the button, Stephen Chidwick shoved and Adams called for the 1,260,000 he had behind.

Timothy Adams: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

The flop came {4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades} for Chidwick to hit a pair of sevens and give Adams a flush draw.

The turn brought the flush indeed as the {10-Clubs} fell and the {4-Spades} on the river was just a formality to complete the board as Adams doubled up.

Bubble Burst Due to Double Bust Out

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Matthias Eibinger
Matthias Eibinger

Talal Shakerchi shoved from the early position for around 170,000 and so did Alex Foxen on the button for 210,000 in total. Stephen Chidwick put in his stack of 100,000-value chips in from the small blind to also put Matthias Eibinger at risk in the big blind. Eibinger asked what would happen if Chidwick would eliminate all three of them and the floor confirmed that Eibinger would finish in 5th place for the min-cash as he had the biggest stack of everyone at risk.

Eibinger tanked, using all six of his time bank cards, and then decided to make the call for the 610,000 he had behind.

Talal Shakerchi: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Alex Foxen: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Matthias Eibinger: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Stephen Chidwick: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for Foxen to turn a set to eliminate Shakerchi in 7th place and get fully paid by Chidwick and Eibinger for the 210,000 he had. Chidwick would lay claim to the remaining 400,000 of Eibinger's stack as Eibinger was eliminated in 6th place as the bubble.

The five remaining players are now in the money and guaranteed at least $121,040.
