Farzad Bonyadi Finishes As The Main Event Bubble Boy

Published on July 12th, 2013 6:01 pm EST

The 2013 World Series of Poker main event bubble has now burst, and all of the remaining 648 players are now guaranteed a minimum payday of $19,106.

The unfortunate "bubble boy" this year? Farzad Bonyadi, who was eliminated by Nick Schwarmann after Schwarmann managed to river the nuts. Bonyadi, who held A-J, was well ahead in the hand after the flop came Jd-5s-3s. After a Bonyadi bet and Schwarmann call, the turn brought the 10s. Schwarmann led out with a bet, and Bonyadi chose to call.

The river brought the Kh. Schwarmann moved in, Bonyadi snap-called and was shown Schwarmann's Ac-Qh for a rivered Broadway straight. With that, Bonyadi was the unlucky 649th place finisher.
