Hanak Eliminated by Xie on Bubble
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Andrew Hanak had been sitting on a short stack for a few circuits before he moved all in for 17,000 on the bubble. He was called by Renee Xie, who had him well covered. Players flipped their cards.
Andrew Hanak: 5?5?
Renee Xie: A?K?
It was a coinflip situation with Hanak holding pocket fives up against Xie's ace king suited. The board ran out 10?Q?9?4?J?. Hanak managed to hold until the river, which brought Xie the nut straight.
Hanak was eliminated on the bubble and all other players have now made Day 2 and are in the money.
