The first-ever live tournament for Derek Ip ends in 17th place. As cash game player, he admitted to have barely slept throughout the event to study MTT and made it all the way to the final three tables before his run came to an end.

Ip was all in out of the big blind with the {a-Spades}{6-Spades} for what appeared to be 190,000 and Joshua Zimmerman called with the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} from under the gun. The board came {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and that spelled the end for Ip, who collects ₩9,577,000 foir his efforts.

"Get some sleep," Zimmerman said and shook hands with Ip. All remaining 16 players will now be balanced on the final two tables.

Over on the feature table, Yao Bai raised to 28,000 in the hijack with the {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Kazuhiko Yotsushika defended the big blind with the {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. On the {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop Yotsushika checked and Bai continued for 35,000. Yotsushika wasted little time before moving all in and Bai eventually called it off for 219,000.

The {a-Hearts} turn reduced the outs of Bai to just the remaining fives in the deck and the {10-Diamonds} river was a formality to reduce the field to the final 17 hopefuls.
