Luka Bojovic Eliminated on the Bubble; Sirzat Hissou Eliminated in 6th Place (€59,000)
Zdenek Zizka limped the 8♦5♦ from under the gun and Shaun Deeb jammed for 2,590,000 with the 7♠7♥. Sirzat Hissou was in the big blind with the A♦3♠ and a short stack behind, folded, as did Zizka.
One hand later, Luka Bojovic then jammed in the next hand for 820,000 and was called by Iago Savino in the cutoff. Hissou in the big blind opted to call with a near identical stack to Bojovic and Zizka folded the big blind. Some commotion ensued to verify which of the shorter stacks had more chips as the production team told the dealer Hissou had 5,000 chips behind while there were effectively two players at risk on the bubble.
More than five minutes passed before the showdown proceeded.
Luka Bojovic: A♥3♥
Sirzat Hissou: A♣Q♦
Iago Savino: 9♥9♠
The 9♦5♠3♠ flop vaulted Savino into a commanding lead with both shorter stacks in need of running cards. It was all over on the 6♣ turn to make the Q♥ river a formality. Since Hissou had 5,000 chips more, he secured the min-cash while Bojovic was eliminated on the bubble.
