Gutshot is Gutwrenching
The money bubble burst in truly gutwrenching form. Matthew Graham had been patient and finally had J♣J♦ to get his chips in good. His jam was called on the button by Michael Rudolph with A♠8♠.
Graham was in great shape on the flop of Q♥9♥6♠ but Rudolph did turn some of his backdoor equity with the 5♥.
Unfortunately for Graham, Rudolph drilled the 8♥ for the gutshot straight draw on the river which left Graham with nothing.
The next two players out will collect $280 and the remaining 11 players will move on to Sunday's day 2 restart.
