Hueben Out on Soft Bubble (1K-LC)

Sometimes you get a big blind special. Sometimes you feel like you were set up. Hueben experienced it all in one hand.

With 27 players remaining and blinds of 3,000/6,000/6,000, Vincent Cornover opened to 13,000 from UTG+2. Cornover got called in the cutoff, small blind, and big blind by Esyas Gebrieal, Gerald Wilson and Nick Hueben respectively.

The multiway flop brought Q♣T♣3♠. Wilson had already checked in the dark. Hueben checked and Cornover continued for 40,000. Action folded back to Hueben in the big blind and he went all in for 49,000. Cornover flicked in the call.

Hueben: Q♥T♦
Cornover: 3♥3♣

Hueben tabled his top two pair confidently as any of us would likely do. However, Hueben's mood quickly changed as he saw Cornover turn over bottom set.

Cornover's set held across the J♠ turn and 2♠ river. Hueben was out on the soft bubble. 26 players remain and 23 players will finish in the money with 11 bagging up and returning tomorrow for Day 2.

Cornover: +94,000
