It took three all in and calls, for the bubble to burst, here in the 2019 PokerStars Asia Pacific Poker Tour Jeju Main Event. There was a double-up for the short stack player, a split-pot and an elimination.

Firstly, a short-stack player was in the big blind with the small blind shoving on him. The at-risk player picked up {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and was in great shape versus his opponent's {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. The dealer spread the {4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{8-Spades}flop and the {10-Spades} turn, meaning the at-risk player had to fade all the remaining nines of the deck in order to stay alive, which he did when the {k-Diamonds} fell on the river.

In the next hand, there were two all-ins on two different tables, with one of them bringing in the end of the bubble. In the first of the two hands, there were two players in on the flop, with {k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} on the board. The short-stack player had bet 37,000 and his opponent put him all in for 60,000 more. The short stack player called with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and was in the verge of elimination, when his opponent tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}, ready to out-kick his opponent.

The {6-Diamonds} on the turn was the perfect lifeboat for the short-stack, and the {q-Spades} on the river would have given him the pot if the turn was not a full-house for both players!

The dealer on the table just three feet away was waiting, as per the instructions of the tournament director, for the first all-in to finish. After the hand was over it was Xiaofeng Jiang who was the player at risk, having shoved and got a call from his neighbor in the cutoff.

Xiaofeng Jiang: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Cutoff Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Jiang kept his lead in the hand, getting closer to the double up. However, the {k-Hearts} on the turn was a disaster, at least from Jiang's perspective, as now he had to find one of the two remaining tens in the deck to stay alive. The {6-Diamonds} in the river was the card that wrote his epilogue in the event, as he left just one spot shy of the payouts.

The 41 remaining players have all secured the minimum payment of KRW 4,345,000 (~$3,765).
