Massive POY Bubble Sweat

[user162117]

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

This is around a $30,000 bubble for Australian David Lim right now.

The top 24 players make the money (pocketing NZ$4,400) but if Lim makes the money, he will win the 2014 ANZ Player of the Year award which gives him an APPT sponsorship worth around $25,000.

That's why he was so tense recently when all in preflop with against Michael Guzzardi's .

Lim had three-bet all in for 23,500 after Guzzardi had opened under the gun to 10,000. Guzzardi called and then the dealer rolled out a board to see Lim survive. There was huge relief on his face as he sat down.

The person who was hurt most by this hand would have been Edison Nguyen. He's not in the tournament, but if Lim was eliminated then the ANZ Player of the Year award would have been locked up depending on where Dean Blatt ends up finishing. For now, the race goes on.
