Ka Ho Ip

Rushen Chen opened for 60,000 from the hijack, then Ka Ho Ip watched the other tables if there was any other action, using up three time banks before finally moving all in for his last 126,000 on the cutoff.

Action folded back to Chen, who matched for a showdown.

Ka Ho Ip: A K

Rushen Chen: A T

The flop came 5 6 Q keeping Ip ahead.

However, the poker gods threw in a T to give Chen a pair of tens to take the lead. Ip needed a jack for a straight or a king, but none of his 7 outs came when the river landed 8

Chen secured the pot and eliminated Ip as the bubble boy, ensuring the remaining 31 players a minimum cash of KRW 9,720,000 (~USD 6,635).
