At the flop 9♥ T♣ 9♠ , Soon checked, Jones shoved 21,000, Soon tanked again then risked his 18,800 stack. Soon flipped open Q♣ Q♥ and was ahead of Jones's A♠ K♠ . The turn 3♦ and river 9♦ secured the win for Soon to double up while Jones plunged to 1600.

A few hands after, Jones was all in with A-9 and busted to a player with 7-8 that paired on the river.
