Jackson Survives Bubble (1F)

Nine players remain and the next player out is the stone bubble. No money; no day two.

With blinds at 4,000/8,000/8,000, Andy Cruz opened UTG to 21,000. Hanzel Cruz called from UTG+2 and Terry Jackson went all-in for 86,000 from the button. The blinds and Andy Cruz folded. Hanzel Cruz took some time to take inventory and weigh his options. Ultimately, he did make the call.

H. Cruz: A♣J♣
Jackson: A♦K♣
Board: 6♠3♠3♦8♥9♠

Jackson held on the low runout and secured a much needed double up.

In the next hand, Elton Sheffield was in the lojack and opened to 16,000. Action folded to Ike Nlemchi's button and he went all-in for 38,000. Sheffield made the call when action came back around.

Sheffield: K♣Q♠
Nlemchi: A♣9♠
Board: Q♦Q♣6♦T♥4♣

The flop all but sealed Nlemchi's fate with three queens delivered to Sheffield. With Nlemchi's elimination on the bubble, the remaining eight players secured $320. There is one pay jump for sixth place before the final five players bag up for day two.

Don't miss out on the action. There are plenty of opportunities to win big over the next few days; 12.5% of each flight will finish in the money with the top 8% moving on to Day Two.
