Yaoyu He

Hand 179: Yaoyu He limped from the hijack, leaving just 10,000 behind. Jiaxian Pan raised to 760,000 from the small blind, pushing big blind Kunal Patni out, and He called off his last chips:

Yaoyu He: K 9

Jiaxian Pan: A T

The short stack flopped the best of it, pairing his nine on the 9 Q 2 flop, but the T turn put Pan in the lead with a superior pair.

No king, jack or nine arrived on the A river, and He was sent to the rail in eighth place for a very respectable KRW 31,780,000 (~USD 23,900) after a deep run in the High Roller event.
