The Bubble Bursts

[user38449]

The final table/money bubble has just popped, leaving us with our nine finalists who are guaranteed a minimum payday of $270 AUD. Otto Pickermann earned the title of bubble boy after blinding away to his last 1,000 in chips.

Forced all in from the small blind, Pickermann's {6-?} {8-?} was in bad shape against his opponent's pocket queens. To make matters worse, the board ran out a very salty {2-?} {2-?} {Q-?} {Q-?} (X), giving Pickermann's opponent quads and smashing his final table hopes in one fell swoop.

A list of the nine finalists and their starting final table chip counts will be posted momentarily.
