Yinghao Zhuo Eliminated in 12th Place by Yoon Kang

Level 24: 25,000 / 50,000 ante: 50,000
Yinghao Zhuo Eliminated in 12th Place

Yoon Kang raises to 100,000 from under the gun and Aditya Agarwal three-bets to 250,000. Kang four-bets to 475,000 and Agarwal snap-folds.


In the very next hand, Yinghao Zhuo jams the button for 340,000 and Kang calls in the big blind.


Yinghao Zhuo: Q T

Yoon Kang: A 4


"Chop?" Kang jokes and Zhuo laughs, as he was denied a double not long ago.


Both have a piece of the A Q 6 flop, but nothing changes on the 7 turn and 5 river. The short stack ride of Zhuo ends on the final two tables.
