Nicolas Wong Eliminated In 8th Place ($21,055)

In Wook Choi opened to 40,000 from under the gun, only to be followed by Nicolas Wong announcing raise and throwing in 60,000.

After the Tournament Director was called over, it was ruled that Wong had to make it 64,000 to go.

Action folded round to Neil Arce in the big blind and he re-raised to 250,000. Choi passed to see Wong commit his 220,000-chip stack.

Wong: {A-Hearts}

Arce:

The flop of {Q-Spades}

kept Arce in the lead, and when the {J-Hearts}

fell on the turn, Wong's outs were cut down to just the four remaining tens in the deck.

Unfortunately for Wong, the river would land the {4-Diamonds}

to see him hit the rail in 8th place for a payday of $21,055 as Arce soars to the chip lead with 1,450,000 in chips.
