Bubble Bursts in 1A

On blinds of 4K/8K-8K, Henry Haufcet opened to 16,000 from the hijack and Christian Rast moved all-in from the cutoff for 25,000.

Justin Hollon jammed over the top from the small blind and action folded out behind him.

 

Rast: A♦T♦ (all-in)
Hollon: K♣J♣
Board: K♥9♠6♥7♠2♠

 

Hollon took the lead on the king-high flop and Rast didn't pick up any equity on the 7♠ turn. The 2♠ completed the board and eliminated Rast on the money bubble.

 

The remaining 8 players are now in the money. 8th place will receive a same-day payout of $280. 6th and 7th willl receive payouts of $320. The final five players return Sunday at 3 pm for Day 2.
