Sophontanakup Runs Into Aces

Level 14: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

Short stacked Wattana Sophontanakup managed to dodge elimination through a few shoves, even getting the better of John Matsuda. But his luck ran dry when he went mano a mano against Cheng Zhang. Holding pocket Nines, Sophontanakup ran straight into Zhang’s pocket Aces and couldn’t catch up, ending his run.
