Kazuma Hirata Eliminated in 11th Place ($13,730)
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Nishant Sharma opened to 1,000,000 on the button. Kazuma Hirata then moved all in for just over 2,000,000 from the small blind, and Sharma called.
Kazuma Hirata: J♦9♦
Nishant Sharma: A♣2♠
The deck decided to give a big needle to Hirata, as he flopped a pair on J♠A♠2♦ but was still way behind. As if that wasn't enough, he improved to two pair on the 9♣ turn, but couldn't boat up on the 8♣ river, making him the bubble boy of the unofficial final table.
