Jihad Louali and Francis Anderson Burst the Bubble With No Hand-For-Hand Play

A player is all in for 65,000 in the cutoff against Jihad Louali, who’s on the button.

Cutoff:
Louali:

The board runs out — the all-in player picks up a backdoor flush draw on the turn to go with his two live cards, but everything misses on the river and he’s eliminated from the tournament.

The floor announces for dealers to pause after the completion of their current hand to prepare for hand-for-hand play as 72 players remain. During an in-progress hand, Francis Anderson flops a set and gets stacks in on the river against a turned set of kings to knock out another player and bring the field to 71. All 71 players are now in the money without needing hand-for-hand play to burst the bubble.

Francis Anderson – 532,000 (66 bb)
Jihad Louali – 365,000 (45 bb)

A recap of the day’s action and complete chip counts will be posted later tonight.
