Wilson Bursts Money Bubble (1K-LC)

Hand-for-hand didn't last long in Flight K of the $500k GTD Dallas Duel. While the money bubble burst after just 3 hands, the bubble for bagging the final 11 players may prove to last much longer.

Blinds had recently gone up to 4,000/8,000/8,000 and action folded around to Esyas Gebrieal on the button. Gebrieal had 45,000 in front of him and only two players to get through. He went all in.

Gerald Wilson made the call in the big blind and players waited for another table to finish their action before tabling their cards.

Wilson: 9♦9♣
Gebrieal: A♥K♦

Gebrieal would need to improve and picked up gutshot outs on the 4♥3♦2♠ flop. The board paired itself on the 2♦ turn and the 7♥ river sent Gebrieal to the rail and the rest of the players in the money.

All remaining players have locked up $800. There will be two pay jumps before the final 11 players bag up their chips and come back tomorrow for Day 2.

Flight K Payouts
1st-11th: DAY TWO
12th-15th: $960
16th-19th: $880
20th-23rd: $800
