Bubble time has only seen one called shove with Cao Ngoc Anh doubling up his short stack through nemesis Ngo Trung Hieu. What we have been witnessing are players chipping up, two in particular, Ta Duy Quoc Chinh and Oliver Helm.
Chinh crossed into a million chips after winning a hand against Joseph Talamayan. It began with a 5-way limped pot, the flop ran 9♠ 9♦ 10♦. Utg+1 Talamayan bet 10k and only Chinh called. On the A♠ turn, Talamayan checked, Chinh bet 30k, called by Talamayan. The river 5♥ saw Talamayan check again, Chinh fired 90k, Talamayan folded. Chinh at 1.042M.
At a separate table, Oliver Helm is up to 900k. He won a big pot against Tung Nguyen with A♥ 6♥ hitting three-of-a-kind sixes. He won a second pot by shoving on Bobby Zhu Xinghua on the river board K♥ A♣ 7♦ A♥ 4♣. Bobby folded.
