Hand-For-Hand on the Bubble Underway
Nicholas Palma was in the big blind faced an open raise to 16,000 by Romain Lewis. "I am not going to fold if I find something," Palma promised right before the three-bet of Patrick Liang on the button for 42,000 followed; the dealers were then instructed to stop after their current hand.
That indicated the start of bubble play, and Palma folded, praising the "voice from above" for it.
David Uvaydov saw his stack cut down at the same time when he bet 100,000 on the river of a Q♦9♣2♠2♥2♦ board, only for Byung Eun Shin to jam with the superior stack. Uvaydov folded and dropped to a shorter stack.
Last but not least, Maurice Hawkins tried a move on the 4♠3♦3♠J♦7♠ river and bet 35,000. Valentino Konakchiev check-called and was good with the 9♦4♣, as Hawkins only had 6♣2♣.
