From Defending Champion to Bubble Boy

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

Sam Dobbins raised to 20,000 from the hijack with Richard Ashby calling from the cutoff. Michel Molenaar shoved for 52,000 from the big blind, which Dobbins and Ashby both called.

With Molenaar all-in, Dobbins and Ashby checked the runout of 5?8?4?8?K? all the way down and the cards were revealed.

Michel Molenaar: A?J? All in
Richard Ashby: 10?3?
Sam Dobbins: A?Q?

Molenaar and Dobbins ended with ace-high but it was Dobbins' queen-kicker that would play, meaning Molenaar was out the bubble boy of the Irish Poker Festival Main Event.
