Ngata Eliminates Gonzalez to Burst the Bubble

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Samantha Gonzalez
Samantha Gonzalez

Aroha Ngata started the action with a raise to 7,000 and Lu Huang three-bet to 18,000 in the cutoff. Samantha Gonzalez looked at her cards on the button and after a minute, she shoved for 96,000. Ngata counted her stack and made the call, while Huang quickly folded:

Samantha Gonzalez: A?K?
Aroha Ngata: A?A?

Gonzalez was in desperate shape for a double up, and the board didn't help her with 5?A?6?2?5?, improving Ngata's hand into a full house to bust Gonzalez in the unfortunate position of the bubble girl of the tournament.

All the remaining 195 payers are now guaranteed to receive at least $1,601 for their efforts.
