The runout goes: Q♥ 2♦ 6♣ 5♦ 3♦ as Sun is eliminated and Kim’s stack nears the quarter-million mark.

Wong wins in boat vs. boat, surpasses 100k chip mark
With the chip in the middle of the table already at 22,900 and a board of J♦ 6♦ 6♣ 9♥ already showing, Alex Wong of Malaysia is in the SB and he checks along with another player in the BB. China’s Sun Yunsheng fires 7,500 as the player on the D folds. The blinds call.
The river is the T♦ and Wong shoves his remaining stack of 37,700 and is called by the player in the BB for 14,100. Sun calls.
Wong turns over J♠ J♣ for a full house on the flop while the player in the BB shows K♦ 3♦ for a flush on the river. Sun sheepishly shows 9♠ 9♣ for a lower full house on the turn and has his stack drop down to under 30,000. The player in the BB busts as Wong gets a virtual triple up and has a stack that now nears the 140,000 mark.
