Vournas Eliminates Hanes Set Over Set to Burst Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Approximately 70,000 was already in the middle on a flop of 9?3?2? when David Hanes bet 25,000 and was met with an all-in bet from John Vournas which well covered Hanes' remaining 65,000.
Hanes made the call, and barring a miracle, Hanes was destined to bubble this tournament.
David Hanes: 3?3?
John Vournas: 9?9?
Hanes had run into set-over-set at one of the worst possible times and had one out to save his tournament life.
Unfortunately for him, neither the turn 7?, nor the river K? was the 3? he needed, and Hanes' misfortune brought raucous applause from the remaining 153 players, who were all now in the money.
