Litvinov Bubbles €50,000 Super High Roller
The shortest stack coming into the "unofficial" final table of nine was Artem Litvinov. With the blinds at 15,000/30,000/4,000, Litvinov began play after the redraw with 194,000 in chips.
A few hands after the cards were back in the air, Dan Smith opened from middle position to 65,000. Litvinov was in the next seat and moved all in for 159,000. Everyone folded back to Smith and he made the quick, cheap call.
Smith turned over the 
and was dominating the 
for the at-risk Litvinov.
The flop came down 
and Litvinov added a couple of extra outs as he could now chop with Smith. The turn brought the 
, leaving Litvinov in need of a ten to win the hand and double or a queen or three to chop.
The dealer burned one last time and then dealt the 
on the river. That wasn't what Litvinov was looking for and he was eliminated as the official bubble boy of the 2012 PokerStars.com European Poker Tour Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller.
The remaining eight players are now bagging and tagging their chips, having locked up a minimum of €122,960 for making the money. PokerNews will have a complete recap posted shortly.
