Sang Hwang Eliminated in 6th Place (HKD $291,100/$37,103)

The final table is now down five with Ivan Leow finishing what he started on the first hand of the tournament against Sang Hwang. The Hong Kong player had been pretty quiet, but then had been one of the shorter stacks for the majority of the final table.

It was Leow who opened the action with a cutoff raise to 120,000 and Hwang jammed for the last of his chips from the button. Leow asked for a count, but this was merely a formality and the Malaysian player quickly threw out the call.
