Two-Outer Saves Sitron on Money Bubble
by Brett on 07.11.09, 5:25 pm
Scott “stsitron” Sitron tipped the dealer after his most recent double up. It was that good.
With the blinds at 2K/4K ante 500 and the money bubble approaching, the big stack at Sitron’s table raised to 11K and Scott reraised to 55K, leaving 58K behind. The original raiser moved all in and Sitron snap-called:
Sitron: J
J
Opponent: A
A
Sitron flew out of his seat at the sight of the J65 flop, and the turn and river brought the 2 and K, giving him a set to increase his stack to 230K. “I’ve been saving up my luck for that one,” he said as the dealer pushed the chips over to him. After the hand he slipped a tip to the dealer but we’re sure she’ll end up giving it to the tournament staff to share with the others.
Kevin “Banshee420″ Hercules was among the money bubble bustouts in the first level of the day. He got the last of his chips in with A5 preflop against 55. The board ran out Q8494 and Hercules was eliminated.
