Hoshiko Out Near the Bubble
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Masahiko Hoshiko started as one of the bigger stacks and got it in preflop for what appeared to be 240,000 with the A♣10♠.
Ivan Tabucal held the superior A♦J♣ and stayed ahead on the J♦9♣7♣K♦3♥ runout to burst out in celebration with friends on the rail.
Florian Schropp also fell short of the money as well as he sent the chips over to Hiroshi Irimajiri.
