Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action folded around to Conor O'driscoll, who stacked off from the small blind against Haoran Cai in the big blind.

Conor O'driscoll: A♠K♥ All in
Haoran Cai: A♥Q♦

The board ran out 10♣2♥6♠10♥5♣. O'driscoll held with his ace king high and the pair of tens on board. That left Cai with just 30,000 chips.

Cai managed to double up a few hands later, making a full house on the river to bring his stack back up to 105,000. A few hands later, however, he bust the tournament in 16th place.
