The Bubble Burst: Tsunamy Doesn't Make It, Sammer Doubles Up

Hand #1:
Javier Tsunamy raised to 13,000 from the cutoff and Vladimir Shabalin shoved from the small blind. Tsunamy called.

Javier Tsunamy:

The board ran out - Shabalin hit two sixes on the flop to give him trip sixes, the turn and the river didn't change the situation for Tsunamy as he was eliminated from the tournament. But as there was another all-in on another table, he still had a chance on splitting a min-cash.

Hand #2:
The under-the-gun player raised to 13,000. Mohamed Jhider three-letter to 35,000 from the early position and action folded to Harald Sammer in the hijack. Sammer four-bet to 90,000. The initial raiser folded. Jhider five-bet to 215,000. Sammer responded with a shove for 365,500 8n total. Jhider called after thinking for a while.

Mohamed Jhider:

The board ran out - Sammer's kings held and as he hit a king on the turn, he improved his hand to a set. There was a little fist pump to celebrate the double up. Applause came from the rest of the field as they realised they were all in the money.
