Myeongsoo So is all in UTG+1 for about 18,000 with K♠ K♣ , but he needs to improve to stay alive against the A♠ A♦ of He Zhou in the big blind.
The board comes 7♣ 6♣ 3♥ 4♠ A♣ , and Zhou rivers an unnecessary set of aces to win the pot and eliminate So.

Prasad Alaparthy jams for 22,300 preflop and Myeongsoo So goes deep into the tank before he shakes the head, waves his hand and declares fold. Since he has a T-25,000 chip out in front, he has to clarify that multiple times while exposing T♠ T♥ , Alaparthy reveals A♥ Q♥ .
So then calls a three-bet by Mai Bien and check-calls the K♣ J♠ 3♣ flop for 3,000. They check the 2♦ turn and So check-folds the A♦ to a river bet by Bien.
