Platinum Pass Winner Posadas Doubles to Avoid Bubble Chop
Platinum Pass winner Miguel Posadas was forced all in for 8,000 from the big blind as action folded around to Ori Hasson, who only had to commit 2,000 more but still managed to hem and haw despite the excellent price.
"I don't want to bust you!" he groaned. "But I feel bad for everyone else if I fold."
Hasson called but it still took several minutes for the cards to be flipped. Before they were, Mauricio Ferreira Pais was eliminated on a nearby table to guarantee that Posadas would at least be chopping a min-cash.
Miguel Posadas: 
Ori Hasson: 
The flop landed 
to have Hasson drawing nearly dead, but the 
turn got the table roaring as there was the possibility of a brutal suck-out. But Posadas held for the double as the 
river peeled off and others at the table cheered for his good fortune as they all reached the money.
