Lingkun Lu Eliminated in 5th Place ($109,344)
Level 33
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 8,000 ante
Gergely Kulcsar shoved all in from the cutoff and Lingkun Lu called in the small blind for his last 680,000.
Lingkun Lu: K♠K♦
Gergely Kulcsar: K♣10♣
Lu had woken up with kings and was a big favorite to double up yet again as the flop came Q♠J♥8♠. Kulcsar's rail began chanting for an ace or a nine that would give him a straight, and they erupted in celebration at the sight of the A♥ turn.
The river came the 9♦ and Lu was sent to the rail with his cracked kings.
