Unusual Situation Close to Bubble as Toyras Left With Single Chip

Matt Warburton

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

An interesting situation developed close to the bubble when Mirand Murseli raised preflop and Miika Toyras moved most of his chips into the middle for 82,000, leaving a single 5,000 chip behind.

Murseli made the call, but thought his opponent had moved all-in and so revealed his hand, A?K? prematurely.

Floor was called and ruled that the betting action stands and that the hand would continue. The flop came 5?K?J? to give Murseli a face-up top pair. Murseli bet for Toyras' last chip, sending Toyras deep into the tank.

"I have some outs," said Toyras as he deliberated how next to act.

"Fold! Fold, my friend!", said Murseli.

Eventually, time was called and Toyras was given 30-seconds to act. He timed out and his hand was folded, giving Murseli the pot. Toyras was left with less than one big blind, but with another chance to survive the bubble.
