Aso Seitaro bubbles1
We didn’t even make it to hand-for-hand, Aso Seitaro was all in with K♠ 7♠ and faced Dang Toan Nguyen with J♥ 10♥. The board was kind to Dang running A♠ 6♥ 2♥ 7♥ A♥ for a dominating flush. Seitaro bubbled. Fortunately for him, he availed of the bubble protection and will receive his buy-in back in the form of APT tournament credits.
At the starting gun of Day 3 and two spots to the money, it was go for gold or go broke for the short stacks. Here’s what happened just before the bubble burst.
Tetsuya Tsuchikawa doubled up with A-J over Zarvan Tumboli‘s K-K. Tsuchikawa improved to trips.
On a board of J♣ 4♥ 8♦ 2♦ 6♦ and a pot of 115k in the middle, Eu Shen bet 56k, Michele Limongi raised to 131k, Shen tank-called and won it. Limongi had Q♣ 10♣ bluff, Shen with 8♥ 7♥ pair.
Jerry Phan eliminated
Jerry Phan four-bet all in with K♥ K♣, Quang Nguyen called with A♦ K♠. The board ran A♥ Q♥ 3♥ 7♣ 8♠. Phan was eliminated in 85th place.
