STUD

In Hand #9 of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, during a Stud round, Chris Labrie got it all in on 3rd street for about 30,000 against Victor Nassif and Harry Eisenberg.

Victor Nassif:  ()  
Harry Eisenberg:  ()  
Chris Labrie:  ()  

3rd Street:  30,000 each

4th Street:  Labrie got it all in for 3,000, and Nassif and Eisenberg put in 10,000 each.

5th Street:  Eisenberg bets 20,000, and Nassif calls.

6th Street:  Eisenberg bets 20,000, Nassif raises, and Eisenberg calls all in for 37,000. All three players turn over their hole cards.

Victor Nassif:  ()    (jack-high flush)
Harry Eisenberg:  ()    (trip nines)
Chris Labrie:  ()    (two pair)

Nassif had the lead with a flush, and Eisenberg and Labrie both needed to make a full house to stay alive. The dealer gave them their final cards face down, and they turned them over one by one:

Victor Nassif:  ()    ()
Harry Eisenberg:  ()    ()
Chris Labrie:  ()    ()

Neither Eisenberg nor Labrie improved, and Nassif won the entire pot to eliminate both players. Since they were seated at the same table, bustout order is determined by chip count, and as the short stack, Labrie is the unfortunate bubble finisher.

Eisenberg is awarded sole possession of ninth place, earning $740, and becoming the only player to cash in the first three mixed game events for the Mixed Game Leaderboard.

Victor Nassif  –  630,000  (32 BB)
Harry Eisenberg  –  Eliminated in 9th Place  ($740)
Chris Labrie  –  Eliminated on the Money Bubble

With eight players remaining from a field of 65, the average chip stack is about 203,000 (10 Big Bets). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $845 each.

At Table 25, Khari Hutchings was all in from UTG+1 with , and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the of Tal Avivi in the small blind.

Tal Avivi  –  194,000  (49 bb)

At Table 33, the player in the cutoff was all in for 31,000 with , and he needed to improve to stay alive against the of James Reynolds in the big blind.

The board came , and the cutoff flopped a gutshot straight draw and turned an open-ended straight draw with an ace-high flush draw. But he missed all of his outs on the river, and Reynolds won the pot with his pocket queens to eliminate his opponent on the Money Bubble.

James Reynolds  –  222,000  (28 bb)

So with the Money Bubble burst, Flight E comes to an end, and the remaining 86 players are bagging and tagging their chips for Day 2, where everyone will be in the money.
