On a board that completed 2 ♠️ 9 ♠️ 10 ♥️ 5 ♣️ 2 ♥️ and 60,000 already in the pot, Shih Wei Hou checked to Tung Cheung Wai who took the chance to shove his last 57,000. With just 65,000 behind, Hou tanked then found a reason to hero-call with 10 ♠️ 8 ♠️ only to discover he was out-kicked by Wai's A ♣️ 10 ♦️

Down to 8,000, Hou tossed it in on the next hand and missed the board for Wai's ace-high in the hole to claim the rest.
