Voor Bubbles the Tournament
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Limits: 10,000-35,000
Andrew Voor raised to 35,000 from middle position with just 9,000 behind. When it folded to Ryan Hoenig in the big blind, he 3-bet to put Voor all in. Voor called and the cards were turned over.
Andrew Voor: A♥K♥6♣2♦ 
Ryan Hoenig: A♣K♦5♣4♥
Voor was one of the shortest stacks in the room, so even a chop would boost his stack considerably.
The flop came down 10♠7♥J♣ and a chop looked likely. The 10♦ on the turn meant only a four or five on the river would eliminate Voor. The 4♦ dropped on the river and the crowd around the table let out a groan of disbelief, as Hoenig improved to a pair of fours to send Voor to the rail on the direct bubble.
With the elimination of Voor all of the remaining players were now in the money.
