Sam Sayegh

With the bubble having already lasted for 90 minutes already at this point, Sam Sayegh limped in from under the gun and the player on the button limped as well. The small blind completes his option and Maria Torres checked her option in the big blind.

The flop was As9h6d and the small blind checked. Torres checks as well and Sayegh moved all in for 9,500. The button folded, the small blind called and Torres folded as well, leaving herself with just 1,000 in chips, good for two antes.

Sayegh showed AhTs and was in the lead against the small blind’s Tc9c. Only a nine would save the small blind and squeak Torres into the money, but the 2h on the turn and the 5h on the river was enough to keep Sayegh in the lead and secure his double up.

Torres was eliminated on the very next hand to burst the bubble and give the final 18 players a payday of at least $593.

Sam Sayegh – 31,000
Maria Torres – Eliminated
