Ricardo Andrade Bubbles Day 1f of FPS Main Event
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ricardo Andrade was all-in and at risk versus Igor Zolotukhin on the bubble.

Igor Zolotukhin: K♠K♦
Andrade had been unfortunate to run Big Slick into pocket aces.
Zolotukhin had a sweat after the J♠9♥7♥ flop gave Andrade a flush draw, but the 10♣ turn and 10♠ river were bricks to send the unfortunate Andrade to the rail.

Vasilev Claims Two
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Dmitrii Vasilev had opened to 20,000 and Taehyun Hwang had moved all-in for 50,000.
Eduardo Pereira was in the big blind and produced a four-bet jam for around 150,000. Vasilev quickly called to put both his opponents at risk.
Taehyun Hwang: 6♥6♣
Eduardo Pereira: A♠K♠
Dmitrii Vasilev: A♥Q♣
Hwang looked in decent shape for a potential triple up, but the 5♣9♣Q♠ flop put Vasilev into the lead with a pair of queens, and he didn't relinquish it on the 2♥9♠ runout.
