Rampage Survives Bubble

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Ethan Yau
Ethan Yau

Ethan Yau was short-stacked coming into today's event with only 73,000 in chips, about 7 big blinds, but that did not stop him from creating action on hand 1 of hand-for-hand on the bubble.

Yau raised from under the gun to 63,000, leaving a few chips behind. Everyone else folded, and Hratch Mkrtumyan moved all of his chips into the middle for 427,000. Yau jokingly stated, "I think if I win, I will get all those chips".

Ethan Yau: AK All in
Hratch Mkrtumyan: QQ

The board went 432 and Yau picked up a few more outs with a straight draw, but that was unnecessary when the turn 8 and the river A fell, and a pair of aces was enough to keep Yau aka Rampage alive and kicking.
