Hong Kai Shi Bubbles; We're In The Money!
It was Jason Brown who started the action with a raise to 25,000 from early position. Play folded around to Shi in the small blind who decided it was time to get his last 19,600 into the middle. The action on the other tables concluded and the cards were flipped.
Brown:
Shi:
Brown was playing his role as the big stack while Shi was thrilled to see he had put his last chips into the middle in such a dominant position.
The flop was an innocent looking as the room was calling for a four to burst the elusive bubble. The turn brought the "oohs" from the rail as suddenly Brown picked up a few more outs with a straight draw.
Suddenly Shi wasn't worried about the four, as he continually shouted, "No six, no six, no six!"
You couldn't have written the script with any more drama as a hush came over the poker room, before the dealer slowly revealed the on the river! The roar would've caused the Sky Tower to shake as suddenly the bubble was burst and the players were in the money!
