Yoshimoto Shinya bubbles
First hand of the bubble round and Yoshimoto Shinya went all in with his short stack and as everyone folded around to the big blind Yao Hou Chun, he felt obliged to make the light call.
Yoshimoto Shinya: A ♦️ 9 ♠️
Yao Hou Chun: Q ♦️ 4 ♣️
Although Shinya was ahead, he wasn't out of the woods with Chun holding live cards. When the flop ran, one of them found the board J ♣️ 7 ♠️ 4 ♦️. The turn and river were Shinya's last hope but no help arrived with the runout 2 ♠️ and 10 ♠️.
