Kuong Kuoch Bubbles Final Table

Jamal Stewart opened to 37,000 and Kuong Kuoch moved all-in for 62,000. Action folded around to Stewart and he made the call.

Stewart: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Kuoch: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, and though Kuoch hit a pair of kings on the flop, Stewart rivered a flush and the final table of 10 is set.

Audet Doubles Through Kuoch

The pace of play is swift at the later stages of the event. There is an all-in almost every hand, as the average stack has slid below 10 big blinds.

Pierre-Luc Audet was the most recent player to get his stack in the middle. Kuong Kuoch shoved all-in from the small blind and Audet put himself at risk, calling out of the big blind.

Audet tabled a pocket pair of jacks, ahead of Kuoch's queen-seven. Audet's jacks held to score the double up.
