Fu Helps Burst the Bubble With Aces
Nivel 19
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Maogen Fu raised to 16,000 in early position and William Haughey called in middle position. Iason Filippidis then three-bet to 51,000 in the cutoff and Fu four-bet to 125,000. Haughey got out of the way, but Filippidis moved all in for 250,000 and Fu snap-called.
"Same hand?", Filippidis asked Fu.
"No, I have aces," Fu replied as they waited to turn over their cards.
Iason Filippidis: Q♣Q♠ 
Maogen Fu: A♦A♥
The A♠K♦3♠ flop gave Fu top set, but Filippidis picked up some slim hope on the Q♥ turn.
"Not like this," tablemate Stephen Barnes said, and Fu dodged the one-outer on the 7♠ river to send Filippidis to the rail on the money bubble.
The remaining 50 players are now in the money.
