Kuowei Kao Eliminated in 23rd Place ($15,533)
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
The action folded around to Kuowei Kao in the small blind, who shoved his stack of 895,000 into the middle. Carlos Kinil was in the big blind and contemplated for a while before he called.
Kuowei Kao: A♦3♠ 
Carlos Kinil: Q♠J♣
Kao's ace-high was good preflop, and he stayed ahead after the 3♦8♥10♦ flop gave him a pair. Kinil had flopped a gutshot and took the lead when the Q♣ on the turn gave him top pair. Kao needed an ace or a three to survive, but the 10♥ on the river wasn't it, meaning he was out in 23rd.
