Hieu Luu Eliminated in 48th Place ($138,568)

Hieu Luu - eliminated
Hieu Luu - eliminated
And so we bid toodle-oo and adieu to Hieu Luu. The "Lucky Donk" was down to 410,000. Action folded to small blind Marc McLaughlin who elected to put Luu all in. Luu called.

McLaughlin: {9-Spades} {3-Clubs}
Luu: {10-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}

With the cards on their backs, the table was forced to wait for a camera crew. "I don't care anymore," said Luu.

Once the camera crew was in place, the dealer started burning and turning. At the end the {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {6-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} board made a pair of nines for McLaughlin to win the pot and eliminate Luu in 48th place.
