We've just lost one more player to leave ourselves right on the money bubble. The 110th place finisher was Shoshiro Karita who was just eliminated in rather dramatic fashion.
Catching the action on the turn in a blind on blind battle with Beng Hooi Beh, the action checked to Karita who fired 25,800 at the board. Beh thought for a long time before moving all in, covering his opponent.
It was then Karita's turn in the tank, and since all the other tables has already finished their hands during hand-for-hand play, a large crowd gathered around Karita as the suspense grew.
"Are there one or two players to go?" asked Karita of the floor staff.
"Two," came the reply.
"Ok, in that case I call!" declared Karita and tabled for a double gutshot straight draw, as Beh was in front with his .
The river was the and Karita was eliminated as we are now on the pure bubble of this event.
