Event 16: Bolek Bubbles

$2,200 Buy-In Six-Max No Limit Hold’em Freeze-Out
Level 14: Blinds 1k/2k/300 ante

Chris Bolek and Andy Seth were eyeing up each others stacks as the two shorts in the room while hand-for-hand play was moving along. It was a $4,956 difference between 12th and 13th.

Seth had a chance to get his chips in the middle when he realized Bolek was all-in with Matt Stout coming along for the ride. Once action completed at the other tables, they tabled their hands.

Bolek: Kc2s
Stout: 7d7c

Bolek needed to hit his King or some magic cards then missed the QhTsTd flop. The 2h turn left him with three outs to stay alive and the Th was not one of them. Bolek hit the rail in 13th place while the rest were in the money and redrawing seats.
