So Long, Steve Sung

Christoph Kwon raised preflop, and he found a call from Steve Sung.

Heads up, the flop came out {9-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}, and Sung led out wiht a bet. Kwon raised, and Sung called to see the {A-Hearts} on the turn. This time it was Sung doing the raising when Kwon bet, and Kwon made the call all in for his tournament life. Sung had just 9,000 chips left behind, so this pot was essentially a double up for either of them. Cards up, gents:

Kwon: {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}
Sung: {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs}

Sung was already drawing dead with just his naked top pair, and the meaningless {8-Clubs} filled out the board. That moves Kwon up to 110,000, leaving Sung with just those few tiny chips to try and mount a comeback.

But alas, he was eliminated on the very next hand.
