Kao Saechao Eliminated in 9th Place ($10,962)
Level 30
: 100,000/200,000, 20,000 ante
James Cheung: 6♠A♦/7♣A♠7♠5♥/J♦
Kao Saechao: K♥K♦/Q♦2♥2♣8♠/10♥
Kao Saechao completed and Qibang Cheung made the call.
On fourth street the two players exchanged bets and raises until Saechao was all-in and at risk for his tournament life.
Saechao was in bad shape with a pair of kings versus Cheung's aces. By the end Saechao had made two pair, kings and twos, but Cheung had aces up to send Saechao to the rail and scoop a sizable pot in the process.
