Main Event (16,500 NTD)

Ken Chuang put it all on the line holding A♣ T♣ and was in bad shape against Fu Sheng Huang's T♥ T♦ . With the board running 4♣ 9♣ K♥ K♦ 2♠ , Chuang failed to improve to exit in 16th place.

From the button, Ken Chuang called Mao Lun Yu's min-raise then called another 80,000 bet on the flop 4♠ Q♣ T♦ . Though no bets landed on the turn 7♦ , the river 3♣ saw Yu come out for 200,000, Chuang snap-called and showed 9♣ 9♠ easily beating Yu's K♦ 4♦ lower pair.
