Hsing Hsiung Tai

After losing a chunk of his stack on a cooler, Hsing Hsiung Tai was dealt another strong hand and three-bet shoved. Initial raiser Kenji Hata called to put him at risk of elimination.

Hsing Hsiung Tai: A ♠️ Q ♥️

Kenji Hata: K ♠️ K ♦️

Looking bleak for Tai with only the ace to help him survive the hand. The flop of J ♦️ 6 ♠️ 2 ♠️ brought no help and neither did the turn 10 ♣️.

Tai called out for a king on the river while Hata called out for no king. Hata's wish was granted with the Q ♣️ arriving on the river.

The field is now down to 8 players.
