Running Cards Save Sun From the Exit; Wolpert Busts
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Luke Graham raised the minimum to 100,000 under the gun and Qing Sun jammed from a few seats over for 530,000. Graham snap-called when the action got back to him.
Qing Sun: K♣Q♦
Luke Graham: K♥K♦
Sun was in terrible shape against the pocket kings of Graham, and after the 4♣9♠3♠ flop, his elimination looked all but certain.
A 10♥ on the turn at least gave Sun some hope with a gutshot draw, though he didn't appear to believe it himself as he was already halfway out of his chair.
Then, the dealer spiked the J♥ on the river to complete Sun's straight, cracking Graham's kings and sending Sun back over the seven-figure mark.
At a nearby table, Marc Wolpert was seen exiting the tournament area and was eliminated.
