Henry Hou's tournament has come to an end, with Jae Wook Shin the man to show him the door, though David Erquiaga tried to get him first.

Erquiaga led for 40,000 after Hou checked, and Shin responded with a re-raise to 120,000. After Hou got out of the way, Erquiaga flashed the table ace-ten.

Hou was out the next hand. It was Taiwan's Kuang Hung Lee the man to kick things off with a preflop open to 45,000 from the hijack, with Shin making the call from the cutoff and Hou calling all-in for his tournament life from the button.
