Miller and Lavenburg Flushed Out on Bubble
Raul Martinez and short-stacked Adam Miller got all the chips in preflop on the stone bubble and after the other tables completed their action the cards were tabled.
Adam Miller: K?Q?
Raul Martinez: 9?3?
The flop came out 9?K?10? for a huge sweat, as Miller had the superior pair but Martinez also had a flush draw to go with his three. The turn 10? took away some of Martinez's outs but the 6? on the river was a gut punch to Miller as it gave his opponent the flush to eliminate him.
Across the room, another all-in-hand was unfolding:
Johann Ibanez opened to 16,000 from under the gun before Michael Lavenburg three-bet to 44,000. Ibanez called.
On the Q?6?4? flop, Ibanez checked and Lavenburg continued for 25,000, leaving around 250,000 behind. Ibanez moved all in as the big stack and was quickly called.
Michael Lavenburg: AxQx
Johann Ibanez: 10?7?
Coincidentally, Ibanez took a chunk off Lavenburg earlier on with the same hand and had the chance to do the same again. The J? turn was a brick but Ibanez made his flush on the A? river to oust Lavenburg.
Since both of these players were eliminated at the same time, they will be splitting the 128th Place min-cash for $2,396 each.
