O'Kearney Eliminated on Soft Bubble

Matt Warburton

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Dara O'Kearney was all in from the big blind for 1,000. Action folded around to Chris Da Silva in the small blind, who happened not to be at his seat at the time. It was ruled that Da Silva's hand would play as he was automatically covering O'Kearney with no further action. The cards were flipped.

Dara O'Kearney: 8?6?
Chris Da Silva: K?10?

O'Kearney started shouting out for his cards to come. "Please put an eight out there! Eight, eight, eight!"

The board ran out 2?10?7?5?J?. The eight never came. Instead, Da Silva hit a ten on the flop and held to win the pot and eliminate O'Kearney on the bubble.
