De Armas Spikes the River to Send Out Kwon
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Yong Keun Kwon, Conrad De Armas, and Dan Zack each put in around 80,000 heading to the A♣J♠6♠ flop where De Armas bet 75,000.
Zack folded, but Kwon then moved all in on the button for around 350,000. De Armas snap-called.
Yong Keun Kwon: A♠K♣K♠8♣
Conrad De Armas: J♣9♠8♠7♣
Kwon was ahead with his pair of aces but needed to dodge De Armas' flush draw. The Q♣ turn kept him in front, but the 7♥ fell on the river and De Armas improved to two pair to eliminate Kwon and move into contention for the tournament chip lead on the last level of the night.
