$440 Mini Main Event
Level 16: 2,500/5,000 with a 5,000 BB ante
Players Remaining: 40 of 262
With 41 players remaining, the $440 Mini Main Event is on the money bubble and playing hand-for-hand. A player in the cutoff moves all in for 13,500 and Dick Hanley (pictured) calls out of the big blind.
Hanley shows [Qc][4s] and is up against the cutoff’s [Ad][Js].
“That’s a classic race situation,” yells a player at a neighboring player in jest.
The flop is [8s][4c][4h], putting Hanley in the lead with trips, leaving the cutoff drawing to runners to stay alive. The turn is the [Jd], giving him some hope, but the river is the [Qd] and Hanley wins the pot with a full house, bursting the bubble in the process.
The remaining 40 players are all in the money and guaranteed at least $825.
Dick Hanley – 215,000
