The Bubble Bursts

Actions folds around to Marc Fratter in the small blind. Fratter raises the action up to 9,000. Jack Schanbacher looks at his cards and then moves all in for just over 30,000 total. The players around the table stand up in anticipation that Fratter will make the call.

Fratter makes the call with the {9-Hearts}

and Schanbacher turns over the {A-Clubs}

. The same hands that were involved in a hand that doubled Schanbacher up earlier. Schanbacher is going to need to improve again here in order to stay alive in the field.

The tournament announcer allows all other hands to end before allowing the action of this hand to run.

Schanbacher removes himself from his comfortable massage and stands up to watch his fate. The flop is no help for Schanbacher with the {8-Spades}

. The turn is the {5-Clubs}

and the river is the {3-Spades}

. Schanbacher is eliminated in 28th position and is the bubble boy.

Some of the other players in the tournament that were waiting for the bubble to burst have offered Schanbacher a couple hundred dollars each in cash as a nice gesture.
