Gois Bubbles €5,300 EPT Main Event

Level 16 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Henrique Gois
Henrique Gois

Valentino Konakchiev raised to 10,000 from early position. It folded to the big blind, Henrique Gois who had only 4,000 left behind after posting the big blind and the big blind ante. He thought and waited for a long time as onlookers started to gather around the table. Eventually, he tossed in the four chips for the call.

The players waited until the cameras and the floor came over until they revealed their cards to the surrounding crowd.

Henrique Gois: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Valentino Konakchiev: {10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Gois had the lead and would need to dodge a ten to avoid being the bubble boy. But the flop came the {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} to fulfil that nightmarish vision. The turn was the {q-Clubs} and the river came the {k-Clubs} to end his tournament on the stone bubble as he became the only player in the room to not join in the shared joy of everyone making the money.
