Ricciardelli Is Crippled On The Bubble

Level 16: 2,000-4,000, 500 ante

Alejandro Sanchez raises to 8,500 in first position and Nicola Ricciardelli three-bet to 21,000. The action folds back to Sanchez and he moves all in and Ricciardelli calls.

Sanchez: JJ
Ricciardelli: AK

The board runs out QT276 and when the tournament director counts out the chip stacks Ricciardelli is left with just 12,000 chips. Sanchez meanwhile has 390,000.

This leaves Ricciardelli as the most likely candidate for the honour of bubble boy.
