This Time Last Year
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
During last year's hand-for-hand play on the money bubble, Reza Kashani earned the unfortunate distinction of bubble boy. Here's a look at the hand that guaranteed 693 players at least $19,359 last year:
Joseph Cheong and Reza Kashani went to a flop of 
with 25,000 already in the pot. Kashani moved all in and Cheong insta-called and tabled 
for flopped middle set.
Kashani was drawing live though holding 
and needed Broadway cards to straighten out. The turn fell 
which changed nothing.
The river fell 
putting an exclamation point on Kahsani's elimination. Cheong's quad queens upped his stack to 315,000 and is at least $19,359 richer.
