Padayachee Eliminated on the Day 1c Bubble by Ioannoy

Over on the outer table, Rex Hsu raised to 15,000 from an early position and was called by Gordon Padayachee and Nic Ioannoy in the big blind. On the A♣9♦2♣ flop, the action checked to Hsu and he made it 22,000 to go for both of his opponents to come along.

That led to the A♦ turn on which Ioannoy checked again. Hsu now bet 40,000 and Padayachee flat-called. Ioannoy then check-min-raised to 80,000 and that sent Hsu into confusion. He used a time bank and ultimately folded, while Padayachee called with a shorter stack behind.

Ioannoy instantly jammed on the 8♥ river and Padaychee shrugged, then called with around nine levels left in the day. Ioannoy showed his A♠2♦ for aces full of deuces and Padayachee's 9♣9♠ for nines full of aces was no good.

"I folded ace-queen," Hsu said and the action was stopped right after.
