Weikuo Hsiao Eliminated in 3rd Place (?40,430,000)

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Weikuo Hsiao - 3rd Place
Weikuo Hsiao - 3rd Place

Weikuo Hsiao shipped on the button for about 550,000, and Taehoon Han snap-called in the big blind after seeing his cards.

Hsiao: {k-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Han: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The {j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop gave Hsiao a little bit of help with a pair of deuces, as another deuce would give him a winner. However, the {8-Diamonds} turn was followed by a {j-Diamonds} river.
