Jae Hwang Eliminated in 48th Place ($145,733)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

The action was folded to Benjamin Pollak on the button who raised to 280,000. Jae Hwang was in the small blind and moved all-in for his remaining 1,705,000. Pollak called and the cards were on their backs.

Pollak: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Hwang: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Hwang was still out front. The turn was the {a-Diamonds} giving both players two pair but Hwang had the better kicker.

"King," Pollak cheered for, hoping to at least get a chop out of the hand. But the dealer burned and turned the {10-Spades}, hitting Pollak's kicker and sending him the pot. Hwang was ousted by the river card and his Main Event journey came to an end.
