Ganesh Bathmanathan Bubbles in 10th Place (£9,381)

[user4144]

In the end, the bubble hand was somewhat of a swift, uneventful affair, Ganesh Bathmanathan pushing all in from the hijack with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

and being quickly called by Richard Allen in the small blind with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

.

If three outs wasn't gloomy enough, it deteriorated to two following the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

flop, and despite the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

on the turn offering chances of a split pot, they failed to emerge on a raggy {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

river and Bathmanathan was gone.

He entertained, but he was hungry for victory, and the final table will be a quieter affair without him. He was visibly deflated in departure, but shook the hand of each of his opponents, and quietly slipped away. Meanwhile, a relieved final nine exhaled all the tension of the day, and started bagging their chips with a tired, but elated smile etched on their faces.

Pop.
