Blinds: 40,000/80,000
Phuoc Nguyen raised it up preflop, and Owen Fee was the lone caller in the small blind. After the flop of [5h][5d][3h], the two would get all of Fee’s chips in the middle, with Fee’s [7s][7h] in bad shape against the pocket queens of Nguyen.
The turn and river provided no help, and Fee was the first to bust in 10th. A few hands later, short stack Tal Zur busted in 9th place, leaving us with just eight players now.
