Bubble Approaching as Field Shrinks to 13 Players

Level 15: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

The pressure is rising as only 13 players remain in the tournament, and the money bubble is quickly approaching. With just a few eliminations left before the payouts begin, every decision is becoming more crucial.


Among the recent bustouts are John Matsuda and Titov Oleg, both of whom fell short of reaching the final table and a potential payday. The remaining players are now fighting not only for a spot at the final table, but also to avoid becoming the last to leave empty-handed.


Play will continue until we reach the final 9, where the real prize chase begins.

No Showdown, No Problem for Tran

Level 15: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Hai Tran opened with a min-raise from early position, and Conor Berry defended his big blind.


The flop came 4 7 3 and both players checked.


On the 6 turn, Conor led out for 55,000, which Tran called without hesitation.


The A river saw Conor slow down with a check. Tran seized the opportunity and fired a bet of 95,000. After a brief tank, Conor decided to fold, giving the pot to Tran.


Tran’s well-timed river bet paid off as he continued to chip up.
