Chung Eliminated by Lizano

A player from early position opened to 2,500 and Peter Chung three-bet to 7,000 from the hijack. Patricio Lizano called from the small blind and the original raiser got out of the way.
The flop came 8♥ Q♣ 4♥. Lizano shoved with a covering stack and Chung, who had 22,900 behind, called for his tournament life.

Chung was in the lead with top pair but the 5♣ and J♥ runout gave Lizano a jack-high flush to eliminate Chung and win the pot.
Chua Knocks Out Chung

With two players seeing a board of 9♣ Q♥ 2♣ 5♦ and 14,000 in the middle, Peter Chung moved all in for 13,300 from the big blind and Christopher Chua called from the hijack with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Chung is in rough shape with second pair versus Chua’s top pair. He finds no help on the A♣ river and is sent to the rail while Chua wins the pot.
Korzhenko Spikes the River

In a preflop confrontation, Sergei Korzhenko was all in from the hijack for 17,000, Danzanbaljir Byambasuren is all in for 18,000 from the cutoff and they are up against Peter Chung who has both players covered from the small blind.

Chung seemed poised to score a double-knockout with the highest pocket pair but the 4♦ J♠ 4♠ 3♦ 8♥ runout gave Korzhenko a full house to send Byambasuren to the rail and triple up.
