Gooch Can't Beat Pair of Nines in O8, Bubbles the $1,500 Dealer's Choice Event
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
On the 13th hand on the stone bubble, Jeff Lisandro raised in the cutoff and Jason Gooch called for his last 2,900 on the button. Both Andrey Zhigalov and John Hennigan joined the contest out of the blinds.
The flop fell 
, eliminating low draws. Lisandro bet in position and Zhigalov called while Hennigan released his hand.
They checked the 
turn and 
and a three-way showdown followed:
Jeff Lisandro: 
Andrey Zhigalov: 
Jason Gooch: 
Neither player made a strong hand but Zhigalov had a nine in his hand and that was enough to beat his two opponents. Good finished in 62nd place and became the last player to leave the tournament empty-handed.
