Kobe Busts Hsieh to Burst Bubble
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
The bubble burst almost as soon as it was announced with China’s Wei Cheng Hsieh and Japan’s Ren Kobe getting all the chip in pre-flop the very first hand of hand-for-hand.
Hsieh was the man to pull the trigger first with 
and unfortunately for the Chinese player, Kobe woke behind him with 
.
Hsieh was the at-risk player and the 
runout was not the one he was looking for, bringing the last of the regular starting flights to a close and guaranteeing the 36 remaining players an HK$6,000 payday and a Day 2 seat worth HK$38,000.
