Abdelouahed Bouanani

Anthony Astarita was the shortest stack on the bubble but found a needed double through Mario De La Puente when his AhJs outflopped 4h4s.

On the next hand, Astarita opened to 21,000 from the cutoff and Abdelouahed Bouanani moved all in for ~100,000 from the big blind. Astarita called and his 124,000 had Bouanani covered.

Bouanani: AhQh
Astarita: AsKh

Bouanani was drawing thin, found no help on the 9s8h2d, but hit the Qc turn to take the lead. It was short-lived because Astarita returned the favor on the Ks river to burst the bubble.

Anthony Astarita – 224,000 (28 bb)
Abdelouahed Bouanani – Eliminated on the bubble
