With a struggling stack just a little over 10BB, Ngoc Anh Cao took a peek at his hole cards, saw a monster hand and shoved 54,000 all-in from under the gun. With less than 10BB in his stack, Phanlert Sukonthatchartnant also found a big monster and also shoved his last 38,000 from the cut-off. Wooseon Kim would usually keep away, but when he peeked into his cards, he found the biggest monster of all and made the call.
AA vs KK vs JJ. AA wins! Woonseon Kim busts both to have a double bubble burst!
Phanlert Sukonthatchartnant busts out at 40 and is the officual bubble with the shorter stack.
