Tim Kasparoff is Our Bubble Boy

[user38971]

Tim Kasparoff pushed his remaining chips into the middle from the small blind after Tommy Hang had called from middle position. Everyone got out of the way and Kasparoff showed pocket eights to Hang's A-10. The flop looked dangerous for Kasparoff, {3-Diamonds}

, as a five, ace, or ten meant the end of his tournament life.

The {10-Hearts}

fell on the turn and Kasparoff was left drawing to an eight, which didn't come, leaving him to be the bubble boy of event #30.
