Tong Eliminated by Birizdo
Level 19
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
The second-last woman in the field has been eliminated very close to the money bubble.
Just before the end of the level, Istvan Birizdo raised to 100,000 and the newly arrived Xin Tong for her last 160,000 in from the next seat to see Birizdo instantly call once the action was back on him.
Xin Tong: A♥J♣ 
Istvan Birizdo: 8♦8♠
There were some paint cards but Tong missed the 9♠7♥2♦Q♣K♥ board to bow out in 32nd place. All dealers were then instructed to let the floor immediately know if there was any all-in showdown with the money bubble in very close proximity.
