William Teoh

In the last hand before the break, William Teoh and Fu Chi Sze got into a preflop raising war in which the latter was the player at risk for 36,400.

Fu Chi Sze: KK
William Teoh: A10

The 843 flop and 5 turn gave Teoh a straight and flush draw. However, the 8 river was a brick and Teoh had to part ways with nearly two thirds of his stack.
