Zapsa Bubbles the Tournament

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The complete action was missed but on a board reading J25102, Tudor Zapsa checked from the small blind and Ivan Pavlov shoved for Zapsa's remaining 100,000. Zapsa called and Pavlov turned over AA for an overpair. Zapsa didn't show his cards and they were lost in the muck before the dealer had a chance to reveal them.
