Ates & Luo Exit on the Bubble
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On a flop of A♠4♥7♥, Jianming Luo got his stack of roughly 100,000 into the middle with Alexandru Cinca making the call to try and bust him.
Jianming Luo: A♣Q♣ 
Alexandru Cinca: A♦K♣
Both players had top pair, but Cinca's king-kicker meant he was in the lead. The 3♥ turn and 8♥ river didn't change anything and Luo headed to the rail.
At the same time on a different table, Orhan Ates got all in preflop, and Tommy G was the player trying to bust him, and send everyone just one spot away from the money.
Orhan Ates : AxQx
Tommy G: A♥K♥
Neither player improved on the runout, which meant Tommy G won the pot with ace-king high. The pot was pushed to Tommy G and Ates headed to the exit empty-handed.
