Barnett Sends Ha Packing

Action was caught with Minh Tai Ha's shove of around eight big blinds being called by Evan Barnett.
Minh Tai Ha: A♥ T♥
Evan Barnett: A♦ K♠
Ha was behind, but looked to be laughing all the way to the bank on the 9♦ T♠ 2♦ flop, as he paired his ten. However, the K♥ turn and K♦ river gave Barnett trips, which meant Ha's tournament run was cut short.
"Dangerous guy," said one of the table to Barnett.
"Me? No, I'm harmless," replied Barnett.

Day 2
Ha's Big Slick Holds
Minh Ha raised to 8,000 from under the gun, and Tak Chong three-bet to 25,000 from middle position, which Ha shoved all in. Chong dropped in a call to put his opponent at risk.
Tak Chong: A♥ Q♠
Minh Ha: A♦ K♦
Ha picked up the lead with a king at the table. The flop came 6♣ 6♥ 9♠ , improving nothing for both players and Chong was looking to spike a queen to eliminate his opponent. However, a dry runout showed 6♦ 3♥ , keeping Ha alive in the field.
