The turbo ring event sped right along through its day until it hit the money bubble. They went into hand-for-hand mode with 19 players remaining and they stayed that way for a long time.
Long enough to go through two levels with two minutes coming off the clock for each hand dealt.
Mark “Bud” Wiser doubled up three times during that stretch, with tens and queens and kings, twice going runner-runner hearts to stay alive.
William Kennedy watched this happen at his table until he was down to 3,000 with 2,000 of that sitting in the ante. He put that one 1K chip in the middle with Angelo Miele and Mark Edwards coming along in the blinds.
Miele checked the flop, Edwards bet 20,000 and Miele check-raised to get a fold from Edwards. Williams said “jack high” when he turned up and Miele said, “you’re good boss.”
Miele showed and the jack high was good until Miele binked the turn to take the lead. The river finished the board and Event 4 was in the money.
