Chin Eliminated on the Bubble
Level 19
Badugi
The dealers were instructed to stop after the conclusion of the current hand as the field was reduced to the last 70 contenders. However, there was one further elimination as James Johnson knocked out Yashuo Chin.
In a Badugi hand, Johnson raised in the hijack and Chin called on the cutoff. Johnson discarded one while Chin took one new card. Johnson bet and Chin called all-in.
On the second draw, the the same discarding continued while both then took one card each on the last draw. Johnson was narrowly ahead with a three-dugi, showing 6x2xAx while Chin had a 6x3xAx.
Johnson failed to improve with a suited queen but Chin also did so with a suited king to finish on the money bubble.
