Stok Wakes Up With Kings to Burst the Bubble
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On the last hand before players headed off on a 20-minute break, Pedro Neves raised to 16,000 under the gun before Giovani Torre moved all in for 171,000 in the middle position. Sven Stok called from the hijack, while Neves got out of the way.
"I hope we have the same hand," Torre told Stok as they waited to turn over their cards.
"Could be," Stok replied.
Giovani Torre: A♠K♦
Sven Stok: K♠K♣
Torre found out that they weren't sharing the same cards and he was left hoping to catch an ace to avoid being eliminated on the money bubble. The board ran out 2♥2♣8♥6♥4♣ and Torre failed to find his ace as he was sent to the rail.
The remaining 55 players are now in the money when they come back from break.
