Sung Joo Hyun Eliminated in 8th Place ($182,662)
Level 17
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alex Foxen opened to 200,000 from middle position and was called by Jans Arends in the small blind.
Sung Joo Hyun then moved all in for around 2,100,000 out of the big blind, getting a quick fold from Foxen. Arends thought for a moment but did end up making the call with the covering stack to put Hyun at risk.
Sung Joo Hyun: A♠K♥
Jans Arends: 10♠10♥
It was a huge coinflip with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. The 5♠2♠8♦ flop kept Arends in the lead but the 8♠ turn gave both players the spade draw with Hyun holding the better end.
The 3♣ river ensured the pocket pair held up, sending Hyun to the rail in eighth place.
