Parssinen Loses a Flip to Soft Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Eelis Parssinen got his stack of around 400,000 into the middle preflop with Ottomar Ladva being the player trying to bust him.
Eelis Parssinen: A♦K♠
Ottomar Ladva: J♠J♦
Parssinen was one of the shortest stacks remaining and needed to win this flip to keep his hopes of making Day 2 and the money alive.
The dealer spread out a low board of 9♥5♠7♣9♣2♣, and Ladva's pocket jacks won the pot, sending Parssinen to the rail.
There were now eleven players left and Day 1a of the Main Event was on the stone bubble.
