Yokosawa Eliminated First Hand After Bubble
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Masato Yokosawa survived the bubble by just a hair as he was forced to be all-in from the big blind with his stack of 18,000. Daniel Lee opted to get involved from middle position with a raise, and the rest of the table folded to send Yokosawa and Lee to a showdown.
Masato Yokosawa: A♠9♥
Daniel Lee: Q♥J♣
Yokosawa was fortunate enough to wake up with a hand despite his bleak circumstances, but the flop was not as kind as it fanned out 9♠8♦J♥ to give Lee the lead with two streets left.
The 4♠ turn was of no help to Yokosawa, and the J♦ river was the last card Yokosawa would see in the tournament as he was eliminated in the money.
