Three-bet pot preflop built a massive pot before all the chips went in on the flop of 10 ♣️ 8 ♥️ 5 ♦️.

Chaehun Ryu: K ♥️ J ♥️

Kevin Choi: A ♦️ J ♣️

Ryu was behind and left his fate up to the final two cards. The turn 8 ♣️ and river 4 ♣️ were not the outs he was looking for to fall in 20th place.
