Yau Eliminated as Bubble Approaches
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mihai Niste opened the button to 24,000 and Ethan Yau shoved from the small blind for 75,000. Once the big blind folded, Niste made the call.
Ethan Yau: A?6? 
Mihai Niste: K?8?
Yau was in need of a double-up and remaining in the lead after the 3?Q?2? flop. Niste jumped into the lead on the 8? turn and Yau couldn't catch up on the J? river, which meant he was eliminated.
