Half a Million for Hsiung

Change of Plans

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

We're back from dinner break, and the cards are back in the air, but there's been change of plans. Rather than move to the Mothership, we're going to stay at the "secondary" feature table in the Purple Section of the Amazon Room. With the $1 Million Big One for One Drop taking place on Sunday, the cameras are being adjusted in the Mothership, and the stream is temporarily down. So, rather than play without a stream, the final table will resume at a table where fans at home can continue to watch.

Level: 23

Limits: 15,000/30,000

John Myung Eliminated in 8th Place ($19,474)

John Myung - 8th Place.
John Myung - 8th Place.

John Myung raised from the cutoff, Kenny Hsiung made it three bets on the button, Mitchell Davis made it four bets from the big blind, and Myung moved all in for 57,000. There was a discussion as to whether or not Hsiung could put in another raise, because Myung's all in wasn't a full raise. An extra raise would lift the cap however, so Hsiung and Davis could only call.

The flop fell {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and Davis led out. Hsiung called.

Hsiung called another bet when the {2-Clubs} turned, and both players checked when the {6-Hearts} completed the board. Davis showed {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for ace-high, but it was no good against Hsiung's {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a pair of kings.

Myung mucked his hand, and was eliminated in eight place.
