Takanari Uchida

Takanari Uchida went on a bubble rollercoaster, but eventually was eliminated to bring the field into the money.

First, Ryuta Naka opened and then folded to Jeremy Chan's three-bet. Uchida was already all-in from under the gun for 10,000, which left him a side pot of 64,000 that he could win.

Takanari Uchida: A 6

Jeremy Chan: J J

Ren Lin was in the background and shouting for an ace, and he got his wish as the Q 5 A flop gave Uchida the lead. No jacks appeared on the 8 T runout, and Uchida survived

In the next hand, Uchida folded his big blind and was left with 4,000, which he was forced to put into the pot in the hand after.

Ryuta Nakai: T 7

Takanari Uchida; J T

Uchida was the favorite to win the hand and extend the bubble, but did need to do some fading as the 4 K K gave Nakai a flush draw. That draw completed on the A turn, whcih left Uchida drawing dead.

The inconsequential 8 hit the river, and Uchida departed as the bubble boy.
