Fischer Doubles up on the Bubble
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Bastian Fischer has just doubled up over on Table 3 in a hand that spanned over 10 minutes.
Jean-Yves Malherbe opened from middle position to 15,000 and Fischer three-bet all-in for 111,500 from the hijack. Malherbe took an age to call and when he did the players were prevented from revealing their hands until the action had been completed on other tables.
Eventually, the instruction to reveal the hands was given, and this is what we saw.
Malherbe: 
Fischer: 
The "Big Slick" of Malherbe was in front, but not for long. The 
flop catapulted Fischer in front, the 
turn kept him there and the 
river completed the hand and guaranteed Fischer's double up.
We are still on 121 players and are playing hand-for-hand.
