Jin Eliminated; Final Table Set!
We all know how easily fortunes can change with the turn of a single card and that's exactly what happened as the dealer spread the community cards. The first three cards off the deck came and in a dramatic turn of events, Jin had taken the lead in the hand.
Tournament director Matt Savage was giving the play-by-play over the microphone, and as the dealer laid the turn card down on the table, Savage exclaimed, "It's a queen!" To stay alive, Jin would need a five or the board to pair any card but the queen. Spectators were on the tips of their toes trying to catch a glimpse of the dealer laying down the river . . . the .
For finishing 10th, Cailin Jin took home $12,144 in prize money. With the win, Sangkyoun Kim earned a spot at the PokerStars.net 2007 APPT Macau Main Event Final Table.
