Lyle Wong Eliminated in 12th Place ($14,000)

This hand was picked up on the flop of 4♥Q♥K♣ with about 500,000 in the middle.

Lyle Wong checked his option out of the small blind before Rajat Paliwal bet 175,000 from under the gun. Wong check-raised all-in for 1,130,000 and Paliwal called to put Wong at risk.

Lyle Wong: K♥10♥ All in
Rajat Paliwal: A♥J♥

Wong had a strong hand with top pair and a king-high flush draw, but this was a situation where his flush draw was no good as Paliwal held the better flush draw and the straight draw to boot.

The Q♠ turn was safe for Wong as he had to fade one more card to secure the double.

The river was unkind as the A♣ peeled on fifth street to signal Wong's demise as he busted from the tournament.

Wong earned $14,000 for his 12th-place finish.
