High Drama on the Bubble

While several short stacks were merely trying to hang on during hand-for-hand play, the two biggest stacks in the room just collided over at the feature table, creating the largest pot in the tournament thus far.

Kyaw Naing raised to 15,000 from the cutoff and Lou Procopio three-bet to 62,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Naing, who made the call, and the dealer rolled out a {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop. Naing checked and Procopio took his time before betting 150,000. Naing check-raised all-in and Procopio stood up and called.

Naing {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Procopio: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

Naing needed a heart to burst the bubble and climb close to a million chips. The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and the river was the {7-Clubs}, giving Procopio the overwhelming chip lead with more than 850,000. Naing was left with just 82,500, and we were back to hand-for-hand play.
