First to act, Anthony Roberts decided to limp from UTG. The table shortstack, “Mr. X,” then moved all in for 28,000 after relieving a heavy sigh. Jacques Arama made the call from the Button. Then, there was a delay in the game; the dealer got the impression that Arama and Roberts were urging the other players to call, and then check it down. The floor arrived to the table, cleared out any misunderstandings, and play proceeded.
Mr. X rose from his chair as the dealer revealed the 9♠K♥Q♦ flop. Arama check-called a 8,000 bet from Roberts, which brought the 7♣ turn. The pattern was once again check-bet-call, and Mr. X again sighed heavily. Action went check-check on the A♣ river.
Mr. X: A♥2♥J♦6♦2♦
Anthony Roberts: A♠6♠6♣4♣5♥
Jacques Arama: K♣K♦10♥4♥9♣
Mr. X’s gut feeling was right; he became the unfortunate bubble boy, as the remaining four players bagged their chips.
Jacques Arama: 499,000
Anthony Roberts: 363,000
Mr. X: 0
