Rainier Aquino - 9th Place
Tae Jun Noh kicked things off with a raise to 16,000 from middle position. The short stack of the final table, Rainier Aquino made his move, reraising all in from the small blind for a total of 30,000. Hyoung Jin Nam called out of the big blind, bringing the action back to Noh. He also called. It was a three-handed pot, with one player all in.
Noh and Nam checked the action all the way to the river. With the board showing , Noh bet 40,000. Nam quickly called, spelling certain disaster for Aquino. That doom was confirmed when the hands were opened.
