Santistevan Eliminated by Hung

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Chen Yu Hung opened the cutoff to 2,300 and Donald Santistevan three-bet to 5,300. Hung called.

It fell {7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} on the flop and Santistevan continued for 4,300, which Hung called. The turn brought the {a-Spades} and Santistevan checked to Hung who made it 8,800 to proceed. It was all-in over the top from Santistevan and a very quick call from Hung.

Chen Yu Hung: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Donald Santistevan: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Top pair wasn't good enough at this point for Santistevan, he needed an ace, a king, or a queen to keep him in the comp. The {6-Clubs} river was a brick and Hung took the pot, whilst Santistevan headed to the door.
