Nicky Tao Jin Eliminated in 3rd Place (KRW 103,500,000)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Nicky Tao Jin - 3rd Place
Nicky Tao Jin - 3rd Place

Aaron Lim had the button. He opened to 50,000 only to have Nicky Tao Jin three-bet to 115,000 from the small blind.

Action back back to Lim who four-bet to 255,000. Jin wasted little time five-betting to 400,000. Lim announced a six-bet all in and Jin heaved a sigh before tossing out a single chip, signifying a call.

Jin: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Lim: {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}

Jin was way out in front but that all changed as the flop fell {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. The {6-Diamonds} hit the turn and suddenly Jin needed to catch a ten to make a set and the best hand. It was not so, however, as the {3-Spades} fell down and Jin became the third place finisher. He'll take home KRW 103,500,000 for his efforts.

The two saw {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} fall and both checked. They did so once again when the {J-Clubs} hit fourth street and the board completed with the {7-Spades}. Kampanatsanyakorn checked and Lim bet 81,000. Kampanatsanyakorn called but mucked when Lim showed {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for queens and eights. Lim now has 1.93 million to Kampanatsanyakorn's 755,000.

The {4-Clubs} hit the river and Kampanatsanyakorn bet 220,000. Lim called once more. Kampanatsanyakorn showed {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines but was ultimately behind Lim's {J-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a pair of jacks. Lim scooped the pot and is now sitting on 1.7 million.

Sixiao "Juicy" Li Eliminated in 5th Place (KRW 37,100,000)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Sixiao "Juicy" Li - Fifth Place
Sixiao "Juicy" Li - Fifth Place

This final table just got a lot less juicy.

Yes, Sixiao "Juicy" Li has become the latest casualty here at the Paradise Walkerhill Casino. Her final hand began when Nicky Tao Jin opened to 48,000 from the cutoff. Chane Kampanatsanyakorn flat-called from the button and it folded to Li who moved all in for 219,000 from the big blind. Jin then four-bet all in over the top and Kampanatsanyakorn folded.

Jin: {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Li: {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}

Li was a slight favorite heading to the flop which fell down {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. The {6-Diamonds} hit the turn and it looked as if Li was going to earn a double up here. The river, however, was unkind to her as it brought the {9-Spades} which secured her place as our fifth place finisher. Li will collect KRW 37,100,000 for her efforts.
