Double Bubble Sees Martin and and Sanz Go Home Empty-Handed
As hand-for-hand play got underway, just one more player needed to be eliminated for before the flight could come to a close. Players needed to make Day 2 in order to make the money, but for two unlucky souls, their hopes of cashing came crashing down.
Firstly, Jack Hardcastle limped in for 8,000 from middle position and Victor Hugo Goncalves Martins was forced all in from the big blind.
Victor Hugo Goncalves Martins: 8?5? 
Jack Hardcastle: K?Q?
No surprises came on the 6?A?K?3?J? runout which meant Martins was one of the day's bubble boys.
On the adjacent table, Lucas Rocha had raised to 16,000 from under the gun and Ignacio Sanz three-bet to 40,000 in the hijack. Shuangyi Ye then shoved from the big blind which got Rocha to fold, but Sanz called off the remainder of his stack which put him at risk.
Ignacio Sanz: J?J?
Shuangyi Ye: Q?Q?
Again, the board delivered nothing out of the ordinary as the 10?2?4?9?A? runout meant Sanz was the second player to be eliminated on the bubble.
