Zhou Eliminates Vaskaboinikau to Burst Money Bubble
Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau moved all in for 360,000 from the cutoff. Quan Zhou asked for a count and then quickly made the call with a covering stack.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: J?7?
Quan Zhou: K?Q?
Both players caught a piece of the Q?J?4? flop but Zhou was ahead with top pair. The 5? turn did give Vaskaboinikau a flush draw to go with his pair of jacks but the 3? was a brick and Vaskaboinikau was eliminated on the stone bubble.
All remaining players are guaranteed at least a min-cash of $156,200 but all eyes will undoubtedly be on the top prize of $769,860.
