Bien Mai Eliminated in 9th Place ($10,908)
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Junnie Pamplona won the first small pot against Chao-Ting Cheng and Hua-Wei Lin then three-bet jammed against an open raise of Curtis Lim.
The third hand of the final table saw an open shove by Bien Mai for 410,000 in late position and Cheng called from one seat over in the hijack.
Bien Mai: K♦Q♦
Chao-Ting Cheng: 8♦8♥
"Yeah, fifty fifty," Mai grinned as he had a coin flip. However, the 8♠6♠5♣ flop saw his hopes of a comeback all but gone, needing running cards for a split pot only. It was all over with the 2♣ turn and the 8♣ river was the cherry on top for Cheng as he scored the knockout with quads.
