Double Trouble as Bubble Bursts and Day 1b Finishes

Two all-in and calls were announced with 50 players left and thus on the stone bubble.

On the first table, it was Marchetti Luca who had pushed all in from early position for 85,000 and was called by Sim Kok Wai in middle position.

Marchetti Luca: A♣Q♠
Sim Kok Wai: 9♦9♣

A flip on the bubble and Wai came out the victor when the board ran out 8♣K♦3♣2♣J♠, officially bursting the bubble.

However, there was another hand yet to be played out, as on another table Vladislavs Petrovs had three-bet all in for 76,000 from middle position over an under the gun open to 25,000 from Valon Olluri. Olluri had made the call and a showdown was ordered.

Vladislavs Petrovs: Q♥Q♠
Valon Olluri: K♣J♣

Olluri outflopped Petrovs on K♥5♥9♥. Petrovs requested a heart from the dealer, but none came on the black runout of 6♣7♣.

Two players were thus eliminated on the bubble of Day 1b and 48 players have made it to Day 2 and secured a mincash.

Stay tuned for the full chip counts as well as a recap of the entire day.
