APT Incheon Main Event Bubbled By Gary Moon

Gary Moon (A♥ Q♠) is the last player to leave the APT Main Event without pocketing any money after the South Korean poker pro took on Aaron Lim (7♠ 9♣). 

Lim had shoved all in, pressuring Moon to make the call so near the bubble with the latter having just 170,000 to his name. A brave call from Moon saw him stay ahead on the 5♣ 8♣ 3♦ flop but Lim paired his nine on the 9♦ turn and the 2♥ rolled off on the river to eliminate Moon in 136th place.
