Hand #6: Marc Joseph Eliminated on the Bubble by Xin Yuan

Level 16: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

Marc Joseph

Not long ago, Xin Yuan was down to only 80,000 - ten big blinds in this level. He open raises and earns two callers to then simply push all-in after the Q♦ T♠ 3♦ flop from an early position. Marc Joseph calls all-in for 226,000 in the cutoff and they have to wait for all other tables to finish.

Marc Joseph: A♠. Q♣

Xin Yuan: A♦ J♦

Joseph is ahead with top pair and top kicker but needs to dodge a lot of outs. One of them instantly comes with the T♦ turn to leave Joseph with two queens and two tens as only outs. The river is the A♣ and the bubble bursts.

Lots Of Shoving Going On

Level 10: 1,000 / 2,000 ante: 2,000

With registration closed, the new level brings shoves around the room. One of the beneficiaries is Marc Joseph who calls the light 10,500 all in and proceeds to dominate with A♠ Q♠ over A♥ 3♣

Florencio Campomanes also bites the dust. He sends in his last 7,000 and loses to Frank Lillis with A♣ 6♥ staying ahead of K♣ 7♠

Another all in was Remy Murcia who says he can feel it coming. And indeed it did. He is all in with A♦ Q♦ and improves on the board T♠ K♣ 7♦ J♥ 6♥ to overcome Xianhua Fu's A♣ K♥ .

For Simas Karaliunas, he defends his big blind with a shove that pushes out small blind Jon Kyte who tries to steal with a 7000 raise.
