Triple Bustout on Bubble
Action was hand for hand with 201 players remaining and 199 paid. There were four all-ins across the room and only one resulted in a double up. The other three were bustouts. Here's how the action went down on the bubble.
Hand 1:
Javey Timmer raised to 10,000 from under the gun and Ryhor Karapanau moved nearly all in from the button, leaving just 1,000 chips behind. Vasyl Pidhrusnyi reraised to 85,000 from the big blind, leaving just 20,000 behind. The original raiser, Timmer, then pushed all in over the top. Karapanau called and Pidhrusnyi stalled for a long time before making the call.
Three players flipped their cards. Karapanau had the shortest stack and Pidhrusnyi was also at risk to Timmer.
Ryhor Karapanau: Q♥Q♣
Vasyl Pidhrusnyi: K♦K♣
Javey Timmer: A♣K♠
The board ran out 7♠8♥4♦3♦7♦. Pidhrusnyi held with his pocket kings to win the pot and triple up. Timmer lost a chunk of chips and Karapanau was eliminated on the bubble.
Hand 2:
After a preflop raising war, Neel Murthy, on the button, found himself all in and at risk for his remaining 332,000 against Lukas Rose, who was under the gun.
Neel Murthy: K♣K♠
Lukas Rose: A♦K♥
The board ran out A♣9♦4♠7♠5♠. Murthy's pocket kings were cracked, propelling Rose over the 800,000 chip mark. Murthy was the second player to bust on the bubble.
Hand 3:
Action was on the river on a board of 10♠2♠J♣J♠3♦. Sylwester Fortuna was all in against Wladimir Stepanian, who had him covered. When the time came, players flipped over their cards.
Fortuna showed Q♣10♣ for a pair of tens. Stepanian showed Q♥J♥ for trip jacks to win the pot. Fortuna was the third and final player to bust on the bubble.
All three bubble bustouts, Karapanau, Murthy, and Fortuna, will split the 199th place prize money, each taking €997.
With the bubble in the rearview, play has returned to normal pace.
