Gomez Forced All-In From Big Blind, Bursts Bubble After Sick Flop
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
In a hand where Charles Gomez was all-in for his final 13,000 from the big blind, action folded around to Barry Hutter who tossed in the additional 3,000 without looking at his cards to set up a runout on the stone bubble with Gomez at risk.
Charles Gomez: 9?4?
Barry Hutter: 8?3?
For being forced all-in blind, Gomez turned up a nine-high holding that was actually ahead going to the flop, but when it came 3?3?Q?, Hutter essentially had flopped Gomez dead.
The K? on the turn meant Gomez was a lock to finish on the stone bubble and when the K? river card made it official, Gomez would exit the tournament one spot off the money as the other 47 remaining players began racking their chips to join the start of the Day 2 session.
