After a very short hand-for-hand period, the Closer was sent in the money! All sitting players are now guaranteed $1,100 and gunning for the $50K top prize!
The bubble hand had a bit of spice to it, as it was orchestrated by Alex Normandin who pulled a brilliant bluff catcher against a very courageous Adil Morkos. Morkos had bet 40K on the turn, saving just under 100K for the river battle, and Normandin called.
Full board:
On the river, Morkos took a minute, and shoved his remaining chips in the middle. Normandin tanked for a while, with a lot of spectators around the table waiting to be sent in the money. Normandin made the call, and the cards were revealed:
Morkos:
Normandin:
That was one gutsy bluff, and one bright call! Congratulations everybody!
