Thomas Morris Eliminated in 9th Place ($13,740)
Level 30
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Short-stacked Thomas Morris moved all in preflop for around 1,200,000 and Hong Moon made the call to put him at risk while the other players got out of the way.
Thomas Morris: A♥J♠
Hong Moon: A♦Q♥
Morris needed some help to catch up to Moon's superior holding, but the flop of Q♠10♣10♥ gave Moon an even bigger advantage with queens and tens. Morris could now only hit running jacks or a king for a straight to win, but the runout of 7♣7♥ did not do it and he was eliminated in ninth place as the first final-table casualty.
