button in SafariSantucci's Big Slick Can't Connect on Stone Bubble
After a series of short stack double ups on the stone bubble, Hector Santucci jammed for 63,000 from the button. Bijay Lama reshoved as the bigger stack from the small blind and Dhesikan Ananchaperumal folded in the big blind for the cards to go on their backs.
Hector Santucci: A♣K♦
Bijay Lama: 5♥5♦
Santucci needed to hit to take the lead but whiffed on the Q♥8♦4♥ flop, with the 8♥ turn bringing in some counterfeit outs. Any ace, king or queen would give Santucci the checkmark, but the 7♠ river ensured he was the last player to leave empty-handed.
The 48 remaining players are now playing until 31 players remain. Once that figure is hit, Day 1a will close.
