It's been a frustrating series for Yohn Paredes, who has been in action since opening day but has yet to find his rhythm. Hoping the Main Event turns it around, Paredes once again found himself fighting for survival.
On a board of K ♣️ 6 ♣️ 8 ♠️ 4 ♠️, Paredes shoved his last 46,000 and was snap-called by Juhyun Lee. Big-stacked Zongjun Yan was also in the hand and tanked-folded after using up two time chips.

Paredes revealed 10 ♠️ 7 ♠️ and declared, "I have too many outs!"
Lee showed 8 ♣️ 5 ♣️ for a pair of eights and a flush draw.
Sure enough, the river 9 ♦️ completed Paredes' straight, giving him the much-needed double up and more. Perhaps the tide is finally turning for Paredes!
