Lupascu Heralds Bubble Time
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Thomas Eychenne raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and called a subsequent three-bet to 68,000 from Matei Lupascu in the small blind.
Lupascu committed the rest of his 100,000 chips on the J♠2♦Q♥ flop and was quickly called by Eychenne.
Matei Lupascu: A♥A♦8♠5♦ 
Thomas Eychenne: A♣J♥10♥9♣
Lupascu was still ahead with his aces, and remained so on the A♠ turn. However, his set would become second-best on the K♥ river, with Eychenne's Broadway eliminating Lupascu in 37th.
