Event 2 Flight A: Mario De La Puente Eliminated by Dave Alfa to Burst the Money Bubble

In the first hand of hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble, the flop came 7s6s3h. Mario De La Puente checked from under the gun, and the player in the cutoff bet 18,000. Dave Alfa called from the button, and De La Puente moved all in for about 200,000.

The cutoff tanked for a long time before he folded, and then Alfa quickly called with 5s4d for a flopped seven-high straight. De La Puente turned over AsKs for a spade flush draw, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 8c, the river card was the 9c, and Alfa won the pot with a nine-high straight to eliminate De La Puente and burst the Money Bubble for Flight A.

Dave Alfa  –  561,000  (140 bb)
Mario De La Puente  –  Eliminated

The remaining 58 players are now bagging up their chips for Day 2, where everyone will be in the money. Stay tuned for official chip counts from this flight.

They keep coming in the door, and we keep finding seats for them. This field practically guarantees we crush the $1,000,000 long before we reach the last fight. This is a huge turnout for a Wednesday morning/afternoon and great sign for a great big prize pool.
