Barber Bursts the Bubble

Livello 16 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Limit Hold 'em

After Brian Yoon raised in the hijack and got three-bet by Alex Livingston in the cutoff, Andrew Barber went into the tank with 12,000 of his remaining 19,000 chips in on the big blind.

Barber waited a couple of minutes before making a decision to see if any other players were all in as well. Word got to him that Phil Hellmuth was all in during a pot in Stud Hi-Lo, but that the outcome would be a chop.

After receiving that news, Barber committed his final chips.

The flop came 4♦K♠Q♣ and after a check from Yoon, Livingston bet and Yoon folded. Barber would need some help to survive.

Andrew Barber: 10♠10♣
Alex Livingston: A♠Q♦

Livingston had outflopped Barber's tens, and after the 7♣7♥ runout, Barber became the bubble boy putting the final 28 players into the money with a min-cash of $16,354 in their pockets.

The first to collect that sum was Jerry Wong who was eliminated in the first hand after the bubble burst.

Wil Wilkinson: XxXx/3♥A♥10♣ - folded fifth street

Carol Fuchs completed Wil Wilkinsion's bring-in and got a call from Phil Hellmuth as well as a defense from Wilkinson.

With the betting lead on fourth street, Hellmuth bet and got two calls.

Pairing his door card ace on fifth, Hellmuth bet again which got a fold from Wilkinson, but a call from Fuchs.

Hellmuth bet sixth and got another call, then checked seventh street and faced a bet from Fuchs.

Hellmuth made the call and Fuchs turned over a full house of fives full of nines. Hellmuth stood up and rifled through his cards, frustrated that he was sending the pot across the table as he suggested that he had aces up but no low.

Fuchs Cracks Hui's Aces

Seven Card Stud

Carol Fuchs: XxXx/Q♦9♥J♠10♠
Phil Hui: XxXx/K♥2♣10♣4♦

Phil Hui bet on fourth and fifth streets, with Carol Fuchs calling to sixth.

Fuchs now moved all in on sixth and Hui called, turning over A♠A♥. Fuchs, though, had K♣Q♣ for the straight and Hui was already drawing dead.

Hui pointed out that Fuchs, with 27,000 in her stack, had to leave 3,000 behind so she wasn't yet all in and he mucked his cards.

Limit Hold 'em

With approximately 80,000 in the middle on a turn board of 5♦4♥10♣7♦, Scott Seiver was in the small blind when he check-called a bet from Brad Ruben on the button.

On the 6♥ river, Seiver led out but then got raised by Ruben.

Seiver shook his head and looked frustrated to see the raise in front of him. After about a minute of thought, Seiver sigh-called to see Ruben's 9♥8♥ for a rivered straight to take the sizeable pot.
