Lee Juyeol was looking good for a final table berth with 43 bb and ten players remaining. However a cooler sent him crashing out in 10th place against Meng Guanrui with a set over set. Hand opened with cutoff Lee min-raising and was callled by the blinds. At the flop 4 6 K , Lee c-bet 40,000, small blind check-called, big to 190,000, Lee flat, and small blind got out of the way.

On the turn 2 , Meng led for 350,000, Lee shoved, Meng snap-called. Lee flipped over 4 4 set and was behind Meng’s 6 6 set. The river 3 did not produce Lee’s last out and was eliminated.
