Thong Tran Eliminated in 17th Place ($37,326)
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Thong Tran bet 900,000 from early positon and was met with an all-in from Rudolf Fourie in the big blind for 5,750,000. Tran made the call for less with 4,700,000.
Thong Tran: A♠K♦
Rudolf Fourie: A♥K♥
Both players had big slick, but Fourie had the suited variety. The flop of J♣10♥5♥ gave Fourie a flush draw and the South African shouted "We are freerolling baby! Let's go!" The J♥ came on the turn which made Tran slump in his seat in disbelief and Fourie delighted.
The 8♥ completed the board and Tran gathered his belongings and left the main stage, while Fourie couldn't believe the chips he were stacking up.
