Event 5: I-R-8 Bubble Busto

$350 + $50 Big Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Martino Scaturro - Bubblelicious

A standard move for Martino Scaturro (Wesville, NJ) who shipped his 48,000 short stack into the midle with 88 and was called by Opponent's QJ suited.

Board ran out 5-K-6-K-Q and this time Event 5 bubble was confirmed.

Martino was a little Ir8 since his eights failed to hold.  But he got over his disappointment very quickly and even posed for the blog.  After all, sooner or later being the bubble happens to all poker players.

By the reaction of the Player behind Martino in the photo, the field is very happy to share in the $380,450 Total Buy-In.  My man is grinning from ear to ear.

Remaining 100 are in for at least $738.
