Benjamin Kang Eliminated

Benjamin Kang and Stephan Gerin got all of their money in on the turn on a board of {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs} when Kang pushed for 11,700 and Gerin made the call.

Gerin held {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for top two pair but Kang held {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the nut straight as well as a royal flush draw.

Incredibly the river was the {K-Hearts} to give Gerin a full house and the pot to leave Kang in bad shape with only 525 chips.

Despite being able to double up to over 1,000, Kang was eliminated a few hands later.
