Bartuschk Bubbles the Largest Main Event Flight
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
With Fabian Bartuschk forced all-in from the big blind, Jonas Heuser called from the small blind. After the rest of the tables finished their action, the cards were turned over with Bartuschk at risk of bubbling.
Fabian Bartuschk: Q♥8♠ 
Jonas Heuser: J♦9♣
Bartuschk was the shortest stack remaining for the day and needed to win this to give himself another orbit to survive and make it to Day 2.
The flop of 5♠3♠4♦ was safe for Bartuschk, and he remained ahead with queen-high.
Some chop opportunities became available on the 6♣ turn, but the J♣ on the river was a disaster for Bartuschk as he Heuser spiked a pair.
Bartuschk headed to the rail as the bubble boy for Day 1d, and the remaining 57 players rejoiced and bagged up their chips for the day.
