Fish Soft Bubbles
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Darryll Fish limped from middle position before Veerachai Vongxaiburana raised to 45,000 from the cutoff. James Chen called from the small blind, and Fish also called.
Chen checked the 4♥8♣9♣ flop, and Fish bet 100,000 with 45,000 behind. Vongxaiburana potted it with the covering stack, which forced Chen out. Fish called and the cards were revealed.
Darryll Fish: A♠A♣9♦3♥3♣ 
Veerachai Vongxaiburana: A♦Q♦J♥4♦4♣
Vongxaiburana flopped a set of fours, and Fish needed a little help from the dealer to survive. The rest of the board came 8♠K♠ and Vongxaiburana took down the pot with a boat, eliminating Fish on the soft bubble.
