Short stacks are now dropping like flies as we approach the bubble round. ITM is 29 places. Among the casualties was two-time Main Event champion Lester Edoc. Seated at a table with massive stacks surrounding him, he met his end at the hands of the chip leader, Lim Yo Hwan.
On a flop 9♦ 10♥ 7♥, Edoc was all in with Q♥ 9♥ and Yo Hwan with 9♣ 9♠ set. The turn 5♣ and river 3♣ did not produce the outs Edoc needed to fall in 35th place just outside of the money.
