Bassett Is the Unfortunate Bubble Boy

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
John Bassett

With players on the stone bubble, action folded to the small blind John Goveia who limped in, and the big blind John Bassett checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came 7?9?10? and Goveia check-called a bet from Bassett for 22,000.

After the 3? on the turn, Goveia checked to Bassett who bet all in, which was snap called by Goveia.

John Bassett: 6?3? All in
John Goveia: 8?6?

Once Bassett saw the straight from Goveia, he didn't even wait to see the river before storming out of the tournament area, despite being able to hit an eight to chop the pot. However, the river was the Q? and Goveia's straight was best, and Bassett was the unfortunate bubble boy.
