Kim Bubbles; Zurita and Scrogins Survive
There were three all in and calls across three separate tables.
First, Jose Zurita was all in against Wooram Cho who held the covering stack in a preflop confrontation.
Jose Zurita: Q♠Q♥
Wooram Cho: A♦2♦
Zurita's queens remained ahead on the 2♥J♦K♥8♦6♠ runout to score a full double up through Cho.
The second all-in unfolded in a battle of two medium stacks between Namhyung Kim and Mario Mosboeck. A substantial pot of more than 400,000 emerged to the J♠6♥5♥K♣ turn on which Kim was all-in for 171,000 and Mosboeck called.
Namhyung Kim: 8♦8♥
Mario Mosboeck: A♥A♦
The 7♥ river ensured at least one seat open and the Day 1b bubble had already burst.
Over on table 13, two players saw a board of A♠J♠5♥ with roughly 225,000 already in the middle and the scenario was almost identical. Benjamin Scrogins was all in for his last 30,000 against Rui Sousa who covered.
Benjamin Scrogins: 8♠8♦
Rui Sousa: 9♦9♣
Scrogins was in dire shape against the bigger pocket pair but the K♠ turn did give him a flush draw for some additional outs. The flush came through on the Q♠ river and he secured a full double up on the stone bubble.
