Wai Kin Yong Pops the Bubble, Ivan Leow Comes Up Short
Wai Kin Yong open-shoved and Ivan Leow called for his 710,000 stack, putting himself at risk of elimination on the bubble.
Ivan Leow: [ackc]
Wai Kin Yong: [9h9d]
The dealer fanned out [9s8d6h] on the flop, giving Yong a set of nines. A [7h] turn smashed Leow with a straight and he needed to dodge to secure a double.
An unfortunate [8s] landed on the river, filling up Yong and his full house sent Leow’s straight out the door as the bubble boy. All players are now guaranteed at least $100,000 for their efforts.
