Jeffrey Hong

Jeffrey Hong opened to 65,000 from the button, William Criego called in the small blind and Diego Uez moved all in for 150,000 from the big. Both Hong and Criego called and the flop was 8d7d5c.

Criego checked, Hong moved all in for 150,000 and Criego tanked for several minutes before he called with the bigger stack.

Uez: Ts9s
Hong: Qc8c
Criego: As4s

Hong was ahead with his paired eight, Uez had a gut shot and two overs, and Criego was drawing thin for the double knock out.

The 4h turn made things interesting and Criego binked the aces up Ac river to send both players out.

William Criego – 890,000 (36 bb)
Jeffrey Hong – Eliminated in 11th Place ($7,330)
