Yu Kurita Eliminated in 5th Place (AU$27,624)
Hand #69: Phil Hellmuth raised to 11,000 from the cutoff only to have Michael Tran three-bet to 50,000 from the small blind. Tran seemed focused on Hellmuth's small stack, but he turned his attention to his left when Yu Kurita four-bet jammed from the big blind for 115,500 more.
"I don't think I can fold," Tran said after Hellmuth had gotten out of the way. Tran then dropped in a call.
Tran:
Kurita:
It was a flip, and Kurita was looking to hold to double. The flop gave Tran the lead with a pair of aces, but all hope was not lost as Kurita flopped a flush draw. The turn improved Tran to two pair, but it also have Kurita an added Broadway draw. Unfortunately for her, she missed all her outs when the appeared on the river, a card that actually improved Tran to a full house.
