Liftoff 1C: Horowitz Eliminates Le to Burst Money Bubble

Written by Kirk | May 17, 2025 12:08:38 AM

Short-stacked Thien Le moved all in preflop and was called by Jonathan Horowitz and another player to put him at risk. 

On the flop of A♣5♣T♥, the first player checked, Horowitz bet 22k, and the player folded. 

Le then tabled K♥J♥ for a gutshot but Horowitz was well ahead with 5♠5♥ for bottom set. The runout of K♣K♦ only added insult to injury as Le made trips but Horowitz improved to a full house to send him to the rail on the money bubble. 

Horowitz - 235k
Le - 0
