Albert Paik Eliminated in 3rd Place (HKD $580,000)

There was a great deal of aggressive blind and ante swapping before a three-way hand took place that saw Albert Paik's tournament come to a close. All three of the remaining players had taken it in turns to play chip leader, but Paik will not be getting the chance again.

It was Ivan Leow the instigator once again, making it 80,000 to go on the button and both Yang Wang (small blind) and Paik (big blind) made the call.

The flop came down and was checked all around, as was the turn. The river saw Wang check, Paik led out for 100,000 and Leow shove. After Wang folded Paik thought it over before making the call.

Leow turned over and Paik tapped the table, flashed him the got up, shook everyone's hand and headed for the exit. The remaining two are now heads-up for the title and trophy with Leow holding over a 2-1 chip lead.
