Slotboom prepares for takeoff(credit: Pokerstarsblog)
As the play approached the money bubble there is no doubt that the players all at Poker Stars EPT Dortmund started cutting eyes at each other –who was going to be the bubble boy this time?
Rolf Slotboom thought for sure it was going to be him, as he moved his chips to the center time and again, picking up and shouldering his bag.
But it wasn’t to be Slotboom – who, incidentally, would make a great superhero with that name and this pic (on the right) or a super spy.
But it was Toby Newton, from Holland, who moved in for 11,300 with pocket sixes and was called by Claudio Cecchi with A-4. The board came A-2-T-J-8 sending Newton out for nothing. – Thanks to PokStars Blog for the report and the pic.
