Russia\u2019s Viktor Taranenko<\/strong> was in dreamland after he turned a \u20ac0.01 ticket into a \u20ac10,350 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event<\/strong> seat, but his dreams turned to nightmares with 82 players remaining.<\/p>\n

Eighty-one of the 534 entrants were guaranteed prize money for their efforts, a min-cash weighing in at \u20ac15,074. Once the money bubble burst, those surviving players had a legitimate shot at a coveted WSOP bracelet and a massive \u20ac1,122,239 first-place prize.<\/p>\n

Taranenko must have been dreaming of telling his friends and family about the time he turned a single cent into a \u20ac15,000 score, but it all went wrong during the 6,000\/12,000\/12,000 level.<\/p>\n

2018 WSOP Europe Main Event Bubble<\/h2>\n

Our Russian online qualifier found himself seated in the big blind and all-in as he was down to only 12,000 chips after paying the bounty. Belgium\u2019s Gary Hasson<\/strong> opened the betting with a raise to 29,000 from under the gun and the other players at the table folded their hands. As Taranenko was all-in, his and Hasson\u2019s hole cards were flipped onto their backs.<\/p>\n

Although it looked like Taranenko was in serious trouble of being eliminated, he still has a 32 percent chance of doubling his tiny stack. The flop was no help to Taranenko who saw his chances of survival reduced to only 23%. After burning a card, the dealer placed the onto the turn and the writing was almost on the wall for Taranenko, who now only had a 14% chance of survival.<\/p>\n

The river had to be a ten or a four, but the dealer revealed the on the river, meaning Hasson\u2019s hand was the best and Tarenenko busted in 82nd place to burst the money bubble.<\/p>\n

Visibly upset, Taranenko made his way out of the tournament area with the 81 remaining players celebrating a return on their investment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not completely over for Taranenko, however, because we have given him a $530 MILLIONS Online<\/a> satellite ticket as a consolation prize. Taranenko now has the chance to qualify for online poker\u2019s biggest-ever single tournament, one with a $20 million guaranteed prize pool and one that is guaranteed to award the top four finishers at least $1 million and the champion $2.5 million.<\/p>\n

With Taranenko\u2019s obvious satellite tournament prowess, we wouldn\u2019t bet against him turning this $530 satellite ticket into a $5,300 seat into this huge online tournament.<\/p>\n
