Courtesy of Miller Zhang’s set of kings.
A very short-stacked player at the button shoved with just around 40,000 and was called by 2 players from the blinds– Ikeda Tatsuya at the small blind and Miller Zhang at the big blind.
Unfortunately for him, the blinds had real and legit hands:
Button player: Q♥ 8♦
Tatsuya: J♣ J♦
Zhang: K♠ K♣
Zhang was covered by Tatsuya at this point and needed to avoid any jack to survive as well.
The board A♣ 6♦ 3♦ 3♥ K♥ ran out which means the button player is the bubble for this APT Main Event. As much as we wanted to get the name we couldn’t as he disappeared almost immediately after the hand.
Zhang doubles up to around 100,000 and Tatsuya drops to below 50,000 but at least, is still in the money.
