Jeffrey Pardales exits as the day’s bubble

Level 19: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

Folded to small blind Jeffrey Pardales, he moved all-in for 103,000 total with A 2 and was called by big blind Song Sang Yoon with K 3 . Slightly ahead, Pardales was crushed to see Song roll a flush by the turn T 9 4 6 2 , eliminating him from the Main Event games right on the bubble.

Rick Jason Ambata

With big blind Alex Torre-Franca already all-in, Rick Jason Ambata and Liu Zhiqiang limped in and checked the board J 2 3 Q 4 down to the river.

Torre-Franca 6 10x Ambata A 8 Liu 6 7

All missing to pair up, Ambata’s ace high is good for the win, knocking Torre-Franca out a two spots short of the money.
