Quick Money Bubble (1J)

Usually hand-for-hand feels like a drag. The money bubble didn't last long in Flight J though.

On the fourth hand of hand-for-hand, blinds were at 5,000/10,000/10,000 and Salim Ishikov was first to act. He opened to 22,000 and the action folded around to Esirigho Otite's big blind. Otite went all-in and Ishikov asked for a count.

The dealer verified Otite's all-in amount of 88,000 and Ishikov tossed in a one-chip call. Ishikov had Otite dominated.

Ishikov: A♥9♦
Otite: A♠3♥
Board: J♥7♥5♥A♦2♥

Otite never picked up additional equity on the runout and was eliminated on the stone bubble. The remaining players have locked up $320. There will be one pay jump before the final twelve players verify their chip counts and return tomorrow for day two.

Flight J Payouts
1st-12th: Day Two
13th-15th: $360
16th-19th: $320

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.
