Yong “IReadYrSoul” Kwon Eliminated in 2nd Place ($8,398)

Blinds: 90,000/180,000

In a matter of just two hands, "pure_reason" went from short stack to winner of this event! Right after that last hand where "pure_reason" doubled up, the two players once again got in a raising war that saw all of Yong “IReadYrSoul” Kwon's chips get into the middle. Kwon held {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, and he was flipping against the {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} of "pure_reason."

The board ran down {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and in a flash, the tournament was over! Kwon will have to settle for the second place prize of $8,398, but first place belongs to "pure_reason", who will take home $12,161.50 for his efforts.

Stay tuned for a full recap to be posted shortly.
