| Gary Fitzgerald (Miami, FL) went from thinking he was the bubble boy, to relaxing back in his chair, while the dealer pushed him a pot close to 200,000. |
On the eleventh hand of the bubble, Nagui Yassa would open for a raise at Table 1. Action folded around to Gary Fitzgerald, who was in the big blind, and ended up three-bet shoving. Yassa quickly made the call, with the two player's stacks very close in size:
Yassa: A♦ Q♣
Fitzgerald: 10♠ 10♥
Runout: 4♥ K♥ 9♥ 5♥ Q♦
Fitzgerald locked up the hand on the turn, having made a flush, but actually thought he was eliminated with the queen on the river. He was made aware that he had the winning hand, and watched as the dealer cut out both stacks. Gary had 2,000 more than Yassa, meaning Nagui would be the event's "bubble boy." The field is now going through it's first redraw, with updated seating assignments to follow.
