Mjagkov Exits to Put Day 1b on Stone Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Andrei Mjagkov open-shoved his 70,000 remaining chips in from the hijack. It folded to Vladimiras Meckovskis in the big blind, who swiftly called.
Andrei Mjagkov: A♥10♦
Vladimiras Meckovskis: J♥J♦
Meckovskis flopped a set on Q♠J♣2♣, and filled up on the 2♦ turn to leave Mjagkov drawing dead. The 5♣ river was rendered meaningless as Majgkov's fate had already been decided.
The field was left with 35 players, meaning one more elimination needed to take place to burst the bubble and end Day 1b. The tournament would proceed hand for hand until that elimination happened.
