Tang Bubbles at the Hands of Straver
Level 18
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
On the direct bubble, Johannes Straver raised to 240,000 and Danny Tang three-bet to 880,000 with just 80,000 chips behind. After the big blind folded, Straver moved all-in. Tang made the call and the cards were revealed.
Danny Tang: A?9? 
Johannes Straver: J?J?
A J? in the window was a disastrous sight for Tang. The 9?7? followed on the flop meaning Tang needed running cards to stay alive. The 3? turn cemented his elimination as an inconsequential K? came on the river.
With Tang's elimination the remaining players had guaranteed themselves at least a $209,346 payday.
