Hoang Exits

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Haisheng Ma opened with a raise to 50,000 before John Hoang moved all in from the cutoff. Before his stack could be cut down, play had passed to Soo Jo Kim in the small blind who also announced all in as the rail murmured with excitement. Back on Ma and he open folded pocket tens which proved to be a wise decision.

Hoang: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}
Kim: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Hoang would need some help and the flop of {4-Clubs}{5-Spades}{j-Spades} brought a sweat as Hoang flopped a flush draw. The {9-Hearts} turn brought even more outs for Hoang but the river was the {6-Clubs} to leave Hoang to depart in 15th place for HK$100,000 in prize money.

Meanwhile Kim is now with the chip leaders with over 800,000 in chips.
