$360 NLH $50,000 GTD (Day 2): Zachary Mullennix Eliminates Shawn Vrenna On The "Double Bubble"

$360 No Limit Hold'em
$50,000 GTD
Level 16 (Blinds 3,000/5,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 182
Players Remaining: 19

Zachary Mullennix (Pittsburgh, PA) got max-value out of his nut-flush, and eliminated Shawn Vrenna in the process.  The field is now one off the money.

The field has now entered the "hand-for-hand" process, as we are one of the money...courtesy of Zachary Mullennix.  With a board reading A♣ J J♣ 9♣, Mullennix was heads up with Shawn Vrenna, and had just bet 18,000 (into a pot close to 50,000).  Vrenna only had 44,000 total, so he wasn't too quick to make his decision, knowing he'd likely have to face a river-bet as well (for all of his chips).  Vrenna did decide to make the call, and sure enough, Mullennix would bet enough to put Vrenna all-in (after the 6 completed the board).  Shawn stood up from his chair and made the call, pretty much resigned to the fact he had the losing hand.  Zack turned over K♣ 7♣, having turned the nut-flush, which was good enough to win the pot (Vrenna had A♠ 7♠).

The field is now on it's fourth hand of bubble play, with two minute removed from the clock each completed hand.
