Running Trips Sends Owen Home
Level 19
: 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Kenny Hsiung raised in the cutoff and Brad Owen defended the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 
and Owen check-raised Hsiung. Hsiung asked, "do you only have 6,000 behind?" before putting in the raise and Owen called off his remaining 6,000.
Brad Owen: 
Kenny Hsiung: 
Owen was in the lead with ace-high and a gutshot straight draw but the 
on the turn improved Hsiung to a pair of queens. The 
river put the nail in the coffin as Hsiung made trips to eliminate Owen from the tournament.
