And the Bubble Boy Is... Alex Bond

Just moments after Graeme Putt was eliminated, Alex Bond moved in for his last 18,000. Wang Che Jung called from the big blind with {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. Bond was in a dominating lead with the {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts}, but no one wants to be the bubble boy.

The flop was dealt nice and slow and it came {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}, giving Jung a straight draw. Bond stood up and didn't look too happy.

The turn paired Jung with the {10-Clubs}. Bond would need to pull back on the river or he would be the APPT Auckland Main Event's bubble boy.

The {3-Clubs} landed on the river, not what Bond needed, making him the bubble boy of our tournament. The remaining players in the field, along with the crowd watching from the rail, erupted in cheer. Many of the players hugged and slapped hands with one another as well.
