Choong Delivers Knockout Blow to Mason

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was picked up on the {k-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{8-Spades} flop with three players still in the hand. Craig Mason, in late position, had already moved all in preflop. Yita Choong fired for 75,000 from the cutoff, getting a quick fold from Eugenio Giordano in the big blind, leading to a heads-up showdown.

Craig Mason: {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Yita Choong: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

With no clubs on the board, Mason was drawing thin, needing runner-runner to stay alive. The {5-Clubs} turn was a good start, as he picked up a gutshot, but it proved fruitless as it was Choong who improved on the {j-Hearts} river. Choong scooped the pot while Mason departed for the rail.
