October Niner Jesse Sylvia Bubbles

October Niner Jesse Sylvia moved all in for his last 45,500 and was called by 2010 November Niner Joseph Cheong. The crowd gathered around filled with media members and players eager to see if they made the money. The hands were revealed to find that Sylvia was in need of some help.

Sylvia: {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Cheong: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The flop fell {K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Cheong retained his lead. It wouldn't be an exciting bubble hand without a sweat, however, and the {6-Diamonds} on the turn did just that. Sylvia needed to catch a diamond or an ace to stay alive in the tournament. Unfortunately for Sylvia the {K-Clubs} came down on fifth street and he was forced to settle for the title of bubble boy.

On his way out, Sylvia was wished good luck in the WSOP Main Event Final Table by many players at his table. On the other hand, with this elimination, Cheong is now flirting with 800,000 in chips.
