Live! Classic Main (Day 2): Kumar Busts, On The Money Bubble

Level 16 (Blinds 1,500/3,000/400)

Players Remaining: 16

Chip Average 204,000

Sumit Kumar was the shortest stack left after the elimination of David Lackey, and he would shove (35,000) over an open from Kostelak (12,000) and three-bet from Welch (25,000).  Kostelak would iso-shove next to act (70,000), and Welch would call, leaving us a three-way all-in:

Welch: AQ      Kumar: QQ       Kostelak: K♦K♣

Flop: 9♣ 4♣ 3♣

Turn: 5♣

River: 5

Kostelak would have the king of clubs to ice the pot on the turn, but his kings would of been the winning hand regardless.  That leaves us with 16 players, and one elimination from the money.  The clock has been paused and two minutes will roll off each hand until the money has been reached.
