Apoorva Goel
First hand after the break and Apoorva Goel went all in for his last 224,000. Down the orbit, Takuma Terada joined with a much larger stack to successfully isolate. Upon showdown, Goel was ahead and needed only to dodge an ace.
Apoorva Goel: Q ♣️ Q ♥️
Takuma Terada: A ♠️ Q ♠️
No ace landed on the flop instead J ♠️ 8 ♠️ 6 ♠️ for a flush to Terada. Slim chance for Goel to overtake, needing a runner runner boat but it was not to be. The turn 10 ♦️ sealed his fate just two spots from ITM. The river 3 ♥️ was inconsequential.
Down to 8 players. It's now bubble time.
