Rightmire Busts on the Bubble

[user270022]

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 300 ante

For several orbits, Rob Rightmire had been clinging on to his tournament life. Hand after hand, each of the surrounding tables waited for the shortest stack to get his chips in the middle.

With the blinds just passing through and paying the ante, Rightmire had just one 100 chip behind. When action folded around, he tossed it in the middle from the button. Jared Bleznick attempted to isolate in the small blind, raising to 5,000, but Brad Helm called out of the big blind.

Bleznick and Helm each drew one card with Rightmire swapping two. The side pot was checked down and Helm took the hand with a ten-eight. Rightmire tabled a jack-eight and was eliminated, leaving the remaining field in the money.
