Shortest Bubble Ever

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We went down from 66 players to 63 within a matter of five minutes and there was not even any hand for hand play. A short stack had moved all in for 21,000 and both players in the blinds called.

On a {K-}{J-}{4-} flop, the player in the small blind led and scared off the player in the big blind and faced {A-}{8-} of the player at risk. His {Q-}{J-} would let the bubble burst though after neither turn nor river improved the hand of the short stack.
