Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Wai Kin Yong
Wai Kin Yong

Manig Loeser joined the action after the first break and has immediately eliminated Wai Kin Yong. Koray Aldemir opened the action with a raise and Yoon flatted on the button. Loeser was in the small blind and three-bet to 40,000. Aldemir decided to fold which gave Yong the opportunity to move all in. Loeser made the call and the cards were turned on their backs.

Manig Loeser: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Wai Kin Yong: {a-}{q-}

Board: {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{X-}

Yong was unable to hit on the board, and after earlier seeing his ace-king lose to pocket aces, he becomes the first player to exit the Triton Super High Roller, as recent entrant Loeser moved up to 370,000.
