Event 3: Bubble Finally

$400 + $50 No Limit Hold'em

Arkadiy Tsinis & Mike Wolf

Arkadiy Tsinis just busted the bubble holding 8-2 off-suit under the gun. "I was at a nice and friendly table then I came over here and all these maniacs...I haven't seen an ace in two days." defended Arkadiy. Arkadiy defeated 2,192 players this summer to win a $1500 NLH WSOP bracelet.

Big blind called Arkadiy's raise - pushing in his last 22,000.

Big Blind tabled A-Q and the 300,000 Arkadiy flipped 8-2.

Q-5-8 on the flop. Opponent's tournament life at risk and the entire room awaiting the bubble.

Five remaining tables have been playing hand for hand for close to an hour.

It all came down to an 8 on the turn.
Arkadiy held the winning hand and knocked out the bubble.

Congratulations to the remaining 36 players who are all in the money and will share a piece of the $37,401 total-buy in cake.

"He should have folded A-Q pre-flop" said Tsinis. This comment caused tablemate Mike Wolf to explain how he trapped Arkadiy just a few hands earlier. Wolf's said he had K-K and decided to trap. In his words he flat called the "sicko" pre, check called a flop of Q-6-7, check called a fourth street 9, then snap called a 35,000 brick-on-the-river bet.

As players go on a quick color-up break, Mike and Arkadiy stick around to joust and snap a photo. I get the feeling it's all in good fun - but we'll see if one of these guys knocks out the other.
