Flight D
Jo Eliminated by Foo's Flopped Boat

Arriving at the action to a flop of 7♦ 7♥ T♠ , Yoonsang Jo, seated on the button, had all of his chips in the middle, leading to a shove from Gerald Foo in the big blind to the tune of 79,000. It was at this point that Shangshen Wu got out of the way.
Foo's cards had barely hit the table as he turned over T♥ T♦ before Jo was up from his seat, holding 4♦ 4♥ .
Jo needed running fours to survive, but the dealer offered no such miracle as the board ran out 8♦ 2♠ .
