Leonard Ng
Chun Yu Ma raised the button to 100,000 before Leonard Ng three-bet jammed for 645,000 from the big blind. Ma made the call with the covering stack and the players flipped their cards.
Leonard Ng: 5 5
Chun Yu Ma: A 9
Ng was the player at risk with pocket fives, and needed to win the flip to secure his spot on the penultimate day of the Main Event.
Ma took a huge lead in the hand by pairing his ace on the T A 4 flop.
A T on the turn meant only a two-outer on the river would stop Ng from being the last elimination of Day 3.
The dealer burned a card and peeled off the J to complete the board, ending Ng's Main Event in forty-seventh place.
