Lee Busts Serhiienko to Burst The Day 2 Bubble

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mykola Serhiienko shoved for his remaining 36,000 from early position and action folded around to Jeongwoo Lee in the big blind, who called to put Serhiienko at risk.

Mykola Serhiienko: A?Q?
Jeongwoo Lee: A?K?

The Q?9?J? flop looked as though the bubble would continue, as Serhiienko improved to a pair of queens. However, the 6? turn gave Lee additional outs to a superior flush, and the 10? river improved Lee to Broadway to end Day 1f and burst the Day 2 bubble.
