Thank you To Yuki Shimosaka And Friends For Bursting The Bubble

Level 18: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

TMT Championship 2024 Flight A Mini Main (NT$ 3M GTD) (Event #6)

The bubble has officially burst at the TMT Championship 2024 Flight A Mini Main (NT$ 3M GTD)!

The thing with tournament poker is that you sit around on the same table with the same people for hours upon hours. You have conversations with some or even have a meal together during dinner break. But then, poker is an elimination game with the goal of getting everyone's chips to win it all.

The "Bubble Boy" (who refused to give his name) had one big blind left and pushed his remaining 13,000 in the middle and was called by four players. Even before the flop was dealt, everyone agreed.- ALL CHECK ALL THE WAY.

It was like Survivor - "The tribe has spoken" and all of a sudden it's business and not personal, although it feels personal. Insert smiley emoji.

The "Bubble Boy" showed A♣ 2♠ and had to compete in a showdown with four other hands:

A♥ T♦

Q♣ J♣

K♠ 5♣

8♦ 6♠

When the board ran: 3♠ 7♦ K♥ Q♠ T♣, It was the K♠ 5♣ of Yuki Shimoksaka that prevailed in the 5-way showdown and eliminated the "Bubble Boy". The win also boosted Shimosaka's chips to 360,000.

With big thanks to the collective effort of Shimoasaka and friends, all 31 survivors (pun intended) are in the money with a chance to improve their rank in the payout ladder on the Day 2 final this October 29, 2024.
