Brett Bader
Brett Bader had a solid session as the bubble neared. Back when 104 players remained, he picked up and had a pair of all-ins at risk preflop. To his delight, both his opponent’s held pocket queens. They were drawing quite slim as the dealer burned and turned. Neither improved to a straight of any sort and Bader’s kings took the pot while scoring a double knockout.
The bubble burst a short time later and Bader took a stack of over 325,000 in to the money.
