Drokin Soft Bubbles
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Simas Karaliunas raised to 40,000 under the gun before Volodymyr Drokin shoved for 165,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Karaliunas, he called to put Drokin at risk.
Volodymyr Drokin: 9♣9♦ 
Simas Karaliunas: 10♠10♦
Drokin was pipped by one and needed to find a nine to stay alive, or the tournament would be on the direct bubble. The board ran out 4♥7♦8♦5♥5♠ and Karaliunas won the pot with his pocket tens, eliminating Drokin on the soft bubble.
