$100k Day 1H: Batra Busts Local Bubble Boy to Send Players into the Money!

After entering hand-for-hand with only 4 big blinds, Jason Serrano finally decided to stick it in the middle preflop after a bet from Dan Bui and a call from Aditya Batra. 

On the flop of A♣9♣K♠, Bui checked, Batra bet 40k, and Bui called to see the turn come the 8♠. Bui checked again to Batra, who moved all in for 105k. 

"F*CK!" Bui exclaimed and shook his head, not liking the spot he was in. However, after around a minute in the tank, he decided to make the call to put Batra at risk. 

Serrano tabled K♥T♣, but was unfortunately drawing stone dead to the K♣Q♣ of Bui and the A♦8♦ of Batra. 

Bui would need a king or a club to win the pot, but the river T♥ only served as an extra needle to Serrano as he exited as the bubble boy while Batra collected the sizeable pot. 

Batra - 360k
Bui - 75k
Serrano - 0
