Avery With A Very Risky Bubble Play
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Adam Owen opened to 26,000 under the gun. The action checked around to Evan Avery, who defended from the big blind with the call.
The flop hit Q♦8♣3♦. Both players checked.
The turn brought the 9♥ and a bet of 18,000 from Owen. Avery check-raised over the top with an all-in for just under 100,000 chips. Owen called.
Evan Avery: K♥3♠
Adam Owen: 8♥8♦
Owen had flopped a set, leaving Avery drawing dead, and he was one of seven players to split the min cash for the bottom four places in the event.
