Bubble Burst; "Inixxx" with the Chip Lead

Shirley Ang

Level 21 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante

There were 31 players who lost all their chips in the final hand before hand-for-hand play could commence for the bubble which means that there are now 5,223 players left in the field.

In one of those hands, "Inixxx" shoved from the early position with the biggest stack at the table and the action folded to "AchillesBG" in the small blind who called for the 94,185 they had behind. "80zivs" also called but for the 136,797 they had behind.

"80zivs":
"AchillesBG":
"Inixxx":

The board ran out for "AchillesBG" and "80zivs" both to bust and min-cash as "Inixxx" flopped the pair of fives and improved to two pair for the chip lead.
