Event 13: Gil Haim Cracks Aces, Doubles Up As Bubble Nears

$570 No-Limit Hold’em
Level 16: 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante
Players Remaining: 20 of 162

A player in middle position raises and action folds around to Gil Haim in the big blind, who moves all in for 81,000. His opponent snap-calls and the cards are tabled.

Haim is in bad shape with his 9d9s against his opponent’s AdAh.

The flop is Kh5d3h, keeping middle position in the lead, but the 9h comes on the turn to give Haim a set and the best hand. The river is the 8c and Haim drags the pot to double up.

The player in middle position is left with about a big blind and after one more elimination, the field will start hand-for-hand play on the bubble with 19 players remaining.

Gil Haim – 167,500
