After the bubble bursts we usually see a flurry of dropouts with short stacks happy to have made the money. However that is not the case here. Instead, only three have fallen and a couple have doubled up.
One player getting a boost was Tobias Napel off chip leader Tso Wei. The shove was on the flop 4♠ K♦ 8♦. Tso Wei had K♠ J♠, Napel with A♦ Q♦, the turn K♥ tripped up Tso but the river 9♦ improved Napel to a winning flush. Napel up to 335k. Tso dipped to 440k.
We also caught Chan Wei Hong land a double off David Tai. Chan’s pocket fours improved to quads to overtake Tai’s pocket nines.
