Nashar Bubbles the Warm Up
The bubble has burst before hand-for-hand play could even begin!
Everybody folded until the action got to Hassan Nashar in the small blind, who bumped it up to 90,000 from his stack of around 550,000. Konstantin Kvashin was in the big blind with a stack worth around double, and he shoved. Nashar, not one to shy away from risky situations, called for his tournament life.
Hassan Nashar: Q♦J♣ 
Konstantin Kvashin: K♥Q♠
Kvashin was well ahead with a dominating hand and got a safe flop when the dealer fanned 7♣10♥2♠. There wasn't much for Nashar to work with and he didn't pick up any extra outs when the 4♦ landed on the turn, which meant he had to find a jack on the river to survive. No jack appeared as the 8♦ rolled off, which meant Nashar was the last person to leave empty-handed.
