The Bubble Has Burst!
Level 18
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
It was a sequence of back-to-back hands that led to the bubble bursting.
In the first hand, the seen-to-be bubble-boy found himself in a classic flip scenario with versus and failed to improve on the runout, as 204,000 chips were shipped the other way, leaving him with just 12,000 - two thirds of one big blind.
He folded the next hand under the gun, and was therefore forced all-in from the big blind, with against Rafal Gruba's on a queen high board, with Gruba a lock to win the hand on the turn.
All of our 37 remaining players have locked themselves up the €250 min-cash and are now in the process of bagging their chips up before they get themselves a good night's sleep ahead of tomorrow's 230pm restart.
