Event 3: “Bud” Wiser Bursts the Bubble

$150 Deep Stack Turbo NL Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 22: 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 18 of 184

Mark "Bud" Wiser
Mark “Bud” Wiser

On the eighth hand of hand-for-hand play, there was a three-way pot between Mark “Bud” Wiser in the small blind and two unknowns who occupied the big blind and button. The flop was AcQd4c and it checked to the button who shoved 34,000 (only two big blinds). Wiser, who claimed just 35,000, also moved all-in. The big blind had both players covered but opted to fold. The button was at risk.

Wiser: AhTs for top pair
Button: QcJc for a pair, a flush draw and a backdoor straight draw

Runout: 7h turn 9d river

Wiser’s pair held and the button was eliminated sending the final 18 players into the money.
