CPPT Event #1 (Flight 1B): Hand-For-Hand Lasts All Of One Hand, As The Flight 1B Field Reaches The Money

2018 Card Player Poker Tour (Isle Casino Pompano Park)
Event #1 | $360 No Limit Hold'em ($200,000 GTD)
Level 18 (Blinds 4,000/8,000/8,000)
Total Flight 1B Entries: 98
Flight 1B Players Remaining: 13

On the first hand of bubble play, Brent Speer would be all-in at risk, after having been called by James Hall.  Speer would be flipping for his tournament life, as the rest of the table (and field) watched intently:

Speer: A♠ 8
Hall: 3 3

Runout: J♠ J 5♣ 10♣ 2♣

While Speer was unable to flop a pair, he did earn extra outs with the paired board.  Both players were calling for cards on the turn and river, and even though none of their requests were actually granted, the runout favored Hall.  Brent Speer would be the Flight 1B bubble boy, with the remaining players all guaranteed at least $500.   

The official results from this flight will be posted as each pay jump is reached, with official counts to follow the bagging process (along with the winner of the chip lead bonus).
