So Young Ko
There are two eliminations at nearly the same time to bring the field down to the last 50 contestants. Floor staff tells dealers to stop the action after the current hand is completed.
The last casualty prior to that is So Young Ko, who faces a raise to 20,000 by Quang Trung Doan and a call. She jams for 48,000 in the cutoff and the big blind tanks for three minutes to fold. Doan then goes into the tank as well, then starts inquiring in Vietnamese with another player at the table how much the min-raise would be.
Doan clicks it up to 76,000 and the third player in the hand snap-folds.
So Young Ko:
Quang Trung Doan:
The board provides no help to Ko and she is out just before the money. That also applies to Jhon Hendri as well, as he is spotted on the way out.
Quang Trung Doan – 235,000
So Young Ko – Eliminated
Jhon Hendri – Eliminated
