Liu Bubbles the Tournament
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Dennis Weiss raised to 55,000 from early position and Wing Po Liu defended from the big blind.
Liu check-called a bet of 40,000 from Weiss on the J♥3♦8♣ flop.
The K♥ came on the turn which Liu checked. Weiss bet 140,000 and Liu check-jammed for 408,000. Weiss thought it over for a few minutes before making the call.
Wing Po Liu: K♦K♠9♠3♥ 
Dennis Weiss: A♥K♣3♣2♥
Liu was ahead with his top set of kings and just had to fade a heart on the river to double. However, the dealer peeled of the 9♥ on the river to give Weiss the nut flush, and Liu was sent to the rail as the bubble boy of the tournament.
