Chen Eliminated as Bubble Bursts
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Short-stacked James Chen moved all in for his last 20,000 and was called off by Michael Hubbard who claimed he did not even look at his cards.
When it was time for showdown, the cards were tabled.
James Chen: A?2?
Michael Hubbard: A?9?
"Wow!" the table gasped at the hands.
They gasped even harder when the flop came out 2?3?8? to give Chen the lead with his deuce. Unfortunately, the runout of A?3? counterfeited him and Hubbard won the pot with his eight-kicker, eliminating Chen on the stone bubble.
