Speranza Loses Flip to Go Out on Soft Bubble
Niveau 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Gianluca Speranza opened to 80,000 with just 15,000 behind and Lars Kamphues three-bet jammed on the button to send Speranza into the tank on the soft money bubble.
Speranza used three time banks before the floor instructed him that they would kill his hand after five seconds and Speranza then called.
Gianluca Speranza: 
Lars Kamphues: 
Speranza couldn't survive the flip as the board ran out 
to pair Kamphues's king as Stephen Song revealed he folded king-jack.
"I like your king-jack better after the flop," commented Kamphues.
The Italian's elimination marked the beginning of hand-for-hand play with 64 players remaining and 63 places paid.
