Liu Bubbles the $5,300 High Roller
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
After three hands of hand-for-hand play, Dmitry Kataev raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and Yayun Liu shoved for roughly 500,000 from the button. Once the blinds folded, Kataev called to put Liu at risk.
Yayun Liu: 10♥10♠ 
Dmitry Kataev: K♥K♠
Kataev was ahead with his Cowboys and if the board didn't contain any help for Liu, the remaining 39 players would be in the money and play would conclude for the night.
The 9♥2♣2♠ flop didn't change anything, and the 5♠ turn meant only a two-outer on the river could save Liu from being the last player to leave the tournament empty-handed. The 7♥ landed on the river, meaning Liu bubbled the $5,300 High Roller.
