Mazza, Mitsui, and Talbot Eliminated on the Bubble
Sylvain Mazza shoved 35,000 in early position and only Abderrashman Habhab called in the hijack.
Sylvain Mazza: A♥K♣
Abderrashman Habhab: Q♣Q♥
It was the classic race but Mazza couldn't connect as the board ran out J♣10♣9♠4♣3♠, eliminating him on the stone bubble.
One table over, Yota Mitsui had jammed the button for the last 145,000 and he was called by Fabian Bartuschk in the big blind.
Yota Mitsui: A♠10♦
Fabian Bartuschk: A♣K♠
The kicker played on the 9♣7♠2♥A♥Q♥ runout for Mitsui to also bust.
That left another two all-in and call to run and one of them included PokerStars ambassador Parker Talbot, who was involved in a preflop raising war in which he was the player at risk for around 215,000 against Marcelo Manfredini.
Parker Talbot: Q♦Q♣
Marcelo Manfredini: A♣A♦
There was no escape for Talbot on the J♦6♠3♥K♥A♥ runout as Manfredini further improved to a set of aces. Since players need to physically bag up chips upon completion of their Day 1, Talbot also missed out on the min-cash as well.
