Slow Action so Far

As the money bubble approaches, the action has been almost exclusively an all-in preflop leading to everyone folding or a walk in the big blind.

Stay tuned as blinds escalate and effective stacks become shorter.

"Surge_Ibaka" Falls Short of the Final Table

Level 20 (6000/12000 ante 1250)

"Surge_Ibaka" opened to 26,400 from the cutoff and found one caller in "thebikeman12" in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and "thebikeman12" led out for 24,000. "Surge_Ibaka" responded by raising to 60,000, which "thebikeman12" called.

The turn brought the {10-Spades} and "thebikeman12" shoved for 234,571. "Surge_Ibaka" called for their last 144,601 and hands were tabled.

"thebikeman12": {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}
"Surge_Ibaka": {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

"Surge_Ibaka" was well out in front, but would need to fade a {9-} or {a-} to survive.

A fateful {9-Diamonds} completed the board and gave "thebikeman12" a winning straight, knocking "Surge_Ibaka" out just before the final table.
