Toni Kaukua Bubbles the Main Event

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Toni Kaukua
Toni Kaukua

Toni Kaukua was under the gun and tanked for several minutes before the clock was called. He eventually raised to 40,000, leaving himself just 20,000 behind.

Azizjon Rakhimov then raised to 100,000 from middle position, Sergei Efimov called in the big blind, and Kaukua put in his last chips.

Rakhimov and Efimov checked down the {2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Spades} board and Rakhimov showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks. Efimov had {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Kaukua showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} before he headed to the exit as the unfortunate bubble boy.
