The action slows… just for a second
As that bubble seat looms so does the serious ness of the game. More and more players are tightening up trying to ensure a payday.
Having said that, a big all-in rears its head. Paul de Sousa raises preflop and Jim Gubb calls. The flop is rags with a nine high. De Sousa makes the big move and is insta-called by Gubb. De sousa shows A 9 and Gubb turns over pocket nines! De Sousa needed running miracle cards to clinch this hand. The set holds up.
Paul de Sousa is eliminated in 14th place. Well played and unlucky.
Darren Miller doubles up with A 10 against A J when the 10 appears on the flop.
