Kai Danilo Paulsen Eliminated in 23rd Place ($ 14,487)

Here comes some more love for Theo.

He and Kai Paulsen got their chips in preflop, with Paulsen holding {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}, and Tran racing with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The flop brought the top pair Paulsen was looking for when it came {5-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {A-Spades}.

The turn card, however, was right in Mr. Tran's neighborhood. The {Q-Diamonds} landed on the board, making Theo a full house, and drawing a big reaction from the table.

The river is a brick, {6-Spades}, and Kai Paulsen is sent off to collect his payout a bit earlier than he would have hoped.
