Po Short-Stacked on Bubble in Event #34 with Crumbs: Does History Repeat Itself?
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
In 2020, Kenneth Po stone bubbled this exact same event.
It looked like history may repeat itself:
Po was down to 2.5 big blinds, with only 10,000 in chips and 2 from the money. By the time hand-for-hand play started he was down to just 4,000 chips, which was one big blind and 5 hands before being forced all-in blind.
He managed to survive the bubble as there was only one hand during the hand-for-hand period. Shortly after the bubble burst, he found himself all-in with aces and couldn't hold as his opponent ended up making two pairs with Ax10x6x4x on the Q♥6♥4♥K♠5♦ run out.
Po cashed in 200th place, for $2,402 and avoided the repeated bubble.
