Contreras Bubbles; Masek Sneaks In
Leonel Contreras came into this Day 2 with a top-five stack, and he parlayed that into a deep run. Unfortunately, that deep run came up just one spot shy of a cash.
In his final hand, Contreras was all in for 2,500 from the small blind, and Mark Bonsack limped into the pot from across the table. Alexandru Masek made a raise to 18,500 from the button, and Bonsack called the extra to see a flop.
It came out , and it was quite the action flop. Bonsack checked, but he was thinking sinister thoughts. When Masek bet 24,500, he quickly check-raised all in. Masek shrugged and called with his drawing at the flush. Bonsack had flopped a set with . And Contreras was essentially drawing dead with . Masek needed to catch up in a hurry, too.
The turn and river were blanks, though, and Bonsack has sent two players off with one swing of his hammer. Masek will take 30th place by virtue of his bigger stack, and that means Contreras is the lone bubble boy and the last man to go home empty-handed.
The remaining 29 players are now guaranteed at least $2,861 like Masek.
