Xiacheng Chen’s stack took a huge hit when he doubled up Zeik Tuit (all in preflop with Ah 9d vs. Ac Kc for 129,000 – blinds currently 4k/8k), but has rebounded by busting someone even shorter – Barry Moore. Moore had just 12,000 remaining and found Js Qh to get it in with vs. Chen, whose Ad 8s held up.
Elsewhere Gary McGinty has been eliminated, in a bubble-resistant queens vs. ace-king suited all-in preflop matchup (his were the queens, the ace hit on the river).
We are now thrillingly close to the bubble in the Americas Cup.
