Bubble bursts!
Players didn’t have to wait long for the money to flow. The bubble has popped with Sze Chi Fu booted by Sang Jun Lee. Fu had A♠ Q♠, Lee A♣ A♦, despite some hope on the flop for Fu 2♠ 7♠ Q♥, the turn K♣ and river 4♦ were not the outs to keep him in the running.
Congratulations to the 51 remaining players! ITM!
