Charles Odenz

The money bubble in Flight A took a lot longer than anticipated but it almost ended on the first hand. Right out of the gates, Charles Odenz open-shoved for 23,000 from under the gun and the big blind called to put him at risk.

Odenz: QdQc
Big Blind: KsQs

Odenz was in great shape for a bubble double but the KcKd9d gave his opponent trip kings for the lead. Odenz began getting out of his seat when the 4d hit the turn and he sat right back down with the 3d filled his flush for a double.

Then Flight A settled in for a long grind. There were a few small double ups including one short stack player getting aces twice in three hands.

It took 11 full hands to get there and it was a tough beat. The same player with double aces picked up queens and shipped in for 33,000. Larry Kang called next to act and they waited for the rest of the tables to finish their action.

Larry Kang

Kang: KhKc
Opponent: QsQc

Kang was looking good but his opponent made a set on the QhJc9s flop. The table thought it would be another double until the dealer put the Kc turn to put Kang’s set of kings back out front. The river Ah finished the board to burst the bubble.
