Nuno Da Silva - Bubble Boy

Nuno Da Silva moved all in from the small blind, pushing out his final 21,900 chips. Next to him and last to act, Michael Palti looked down at {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

and made the call. Da Silva rolled over his {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

and the race was on!

Right in the window came a disatrous {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

for Da Siva, all but ending his hopes as Palti tripped up his tens. When the rest of the cards were run out, the board showed {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, and indeed Nuno Da Silva is eliminated on the bubble.

Michael Palti is now soundly in the chip lead, sitting on a stack of 101,700.

With that elimination, the remaining 24 players are all in the money!
