A Quick Bubble - Uke Dauti Leaves Empty Handed
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
On the first hand of hand-for-hand action Uke Dauti shoved his last 100,000 from the hijack and was called by Ron West, who started Day 2 as one of the shorter stacks, from the button.
After being given the go ahead both players tabled their hands.
Uke Dauti: 
Ron West: 
Dauti was ahead but needed to win a flip to avoid going out on the money bubble.
The 
flop was safe for Dauti, but an unfortunate 
on the turn changed things and the 
river sealed his fate, sending him to the rail and ensuring a payday for the remaining 62 players.
