Elmer Kalaquian was all in once again for his tournament life and was called by nemesis Long Hin Shiao. 

Elmer Kalaquian: J ♦️ J ♥️

Long Hin Shiao: K ♠️ Q ♥️

With a king arriving on the flop, it was near doom for Kalaquian. And after the board completed 2 ♣️ K ♥️ 5 ♠️ :8d; 2 ♥️, Kalaquian's bid for a stronger finish than at the GOP Jeju debut ended in 28th place.
