Anh Do Busts on the Bubble

Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 8♥7♥4♦9♦. Anh Do was all in against Johny Mendes. Chip stacks were near even, but Anh Do had a few more, meaning Mendes was at risk of busting the bubble. Players flipped their cards.

Johny Mendes: 6♣5♠
Anh Do: Q♥10♥

Mendes had a straight and Do had a flush draw and straight draw. The tournament director gave the instruction for the rest of the hand to be dealt. The dealer turned the river card, which was the 8♣.

Mendes held up and Do was reduced to just a single big blind.

The next hand, Do was in the big blind with his chips in the middle. Omer Smidt raised to 13,000 from middle position and all other players folded. Do was already all in and so players flipped their cards.

Anh Do: J♥2♣
Omar Smidt: A♦J♦

The board ran out A♥9♣K♦4♠6♥. Smidt hit a pair of aces on the flop and held up while Do was eliminated on the bubble.
