Showdown
Hwang:
Stone:
Hwang was in bad shape and in need of some help, but the flop was anything but. Stone's supporters, of which there are a lot, erupted in celebration when their man hit a ten to extend his lead. The turn did give Hwang a wheel draw, but the river would not complete it.
Hwang no doubt had high hopes heading into the final table, but he leaves with a $103,322 consolation prize for his fifth-place finish.
