We have seen many bustouts since the bubble burst just over one hour ago. The shorter stacks keep waiting until picking up either a pocket pair, or perhaps a strong Ace, and then we are hearing those players announce, “all in!”.
On table 19, the player who was utg+1, Alexandre Ruest, open shoved his stack, which looked like it was around 10 bb’s. Jean Lafleur, in the lowjack seat, asked the dealer for a count. Once the dealer confirmed that it was indeed around 10 bb’s (99K), Jean announced “call”. All other players got out of the way and the hands were opened.
Alexandre had shoved with 
Jean smooth called with: 
The flop 
gave Jean the king that he wanted to see, but there was the usual all in sweat as Alexandre had flopped a gutty! The 
on the turn didn’t change anything, and the 
on the river was also a brick, and, Alexandre’s day came to an end.
We will have our next break in a few moments and will once again be updating our leaderboard.
