Bruno Is All In On The Bubble

Confusion reigned in the final bubble hand before the scheduled 15 minute break.
Hedi Salmi had raised from early position and Michael Schurpf had three bet from the button. The small blind had folded and Bruno Launais had his hands on his cards in the big blind. Salmi announced that he was all-in in an obvious reaction to the three-bet from Schurpf but Launais had not yet acted. When Launais did act it was to call the all-in of Salmi. Schurpf got out of the way and both Launais and Salmi turned their hands over prematurely. Launais had pocket kings and Salmi had pocket queens. When Salmi saw Launais' pocket kings he started to complain that he did not know Launais was in the hand. Tournament Director Thomas Kremser came to the rescue and the hand stood.
Just to rub salt into the already raw wound of Salmi Launais flopped a full house to double up. Salmi had Launais covered so the bubble has still not yet burst.
Launais ~ 440,000.
