Phamolivo Goes Out on the Bubble
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
At the start of hand-for-hand play, Kristianne Phamolivo moved all in from under the gun with her last two 5,000 chips. Ksenia Shuali and Sayoko Matsumoto called from the button and big blind, respectively.
The flop hit 8♣7♣6♥. Shuali and Matsumoto both checked in their side pot action. They repeated those checks on the Q♥ turn.
When the A♣ fell on the river, Matsumoto checked. Shuali bet 13,000 and Matsumoto called.
The hands were tabled.
Matsumoto had [10c4] for a flush to win the side pot over Shuali, who had A♦6♦ for two pair.
Phamolivo showed A♥K♥ and was eliminated as the last person before the money.
