button in SafariHedge Fund Manager Takes a Bad Beat on the Bubble
The bubble has burst in the $50K NLH 8-Handed, with hedge fund manager David D'Alessandro eliminated with a bad beat by Wai Kiat Lee to send the remaining 23 players into the money.
At 20,000/40,000/40,000, Kiat Lee opened to 80,000 from the hijack with K♣9♣ off a stack of 1,055,000 before D'Alessandro jammed for 315,000 from the big blind holding A♣J♣. Kiat Lee took some time before making the call.
The Q♦7♣2♥ flop kept D'Alessandro in front, but the K♠ turn swung the hand in Kiat Lee’s favor. The 5♦ river changed nothing, confirming D'Alessandro as the stone bubble and guaranteeing the remaining players at least $77,000.
