Kim Gap Young Eliminated in 3rd Place (PHP 2,045,000)

Kim Gap Young - 3rd place
Kim Gap Young - 3rd place

Just the hand after doubling, Kim Gap Young pushed once again for his last 430,000 from the small blind.

Fabiano Michael instantly made the call from the big bling to put the Korean at risk.

Young: {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Michael: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

With Young making another brave shove, the {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop saw him still trailing, but when the {3-Hearts} landed on the turn he managed to pick up a gutshot straight draw to go along with his live jack.

Unfortunately for Young, his Day 2 and 3 chip leader status couldn't see him through to a win as the river landed the {Q-Hearts} to send him to the rail in 3rd place for a PHP 2,045,000 payday.

Young Doubles

From the button, Kim Gap Young moved all in for his last 197,000 with Fabiano Michael smooth-calling from the small blind.

Young: {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Michael: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop saw Young catch a pair, and when the {6-Clubs} landed on the turn, Young took the lead.

The {K-Diamonds} on the river would be a safe one for Young as he doubled to 433,000 while Michael slipped to 1,140,000 in chips.

Young Slips With Crabs

Young-shin Im opened the button to 65,000 only to have Kim Gap Young three-bet to 265,000 from the small blind.

With the action on Fabiano Michael, he moved all in for 682,000 to force a quick fold from Im before Young went into the tank.

Nearly two minutes went by before Young announced a call, slid his chips into the pot and shot a wry smile at his partner Im.

Young: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Michael: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

At risk, Michael would be in the best shape possible having his opponent drawing incredibly thin before the {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop re-confirmed his lead in the hand.

The {6-Diamonds} on the turn gave Young a gutshot along with his two-outer for a set, but when the {2-Diamonds} landed on the river, Michael doubled through to 1,429,000 as Young was left crippled with 195,000 in chips.

Fabiano Cracks Queens

A very happy man after that double!

Following a fold from Kim Gap Young on the button, Fabiano Michael shipped it all in from the small blind for 324,000 with Young-shin Im instantly making the call from the big.

Michael: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Im: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Needing to improve to prevent the Korean heads-up match, Michael would spike on the {2-Spades}{A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop.

The {3-Hearts} on the turn changed little before the {J-Clubs} landed on the river to ensure Michael the double to 657,000 as Im slips to 2,950,000 in chips.
