Kai Fuong Eliminated in 9th Place (�3,500)
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ionut Dragomir opened to 55,000 from the hijack and Kai Fuong three-bet to 175,000 from the small blind. Dragomir made the call.
The flop came K?Q?J? and Fuong moved all in for just over 700,000. Dragomir made the call with a slightly covering stack to put Fuong at risk.
Kai Fuong: A?K?
Ionut Dragomir: A?8?
Fuong was ahead with top pair but still had to fade Dragomir's nut-flush draw. The 9? turn was a brick but the 10? river brought the flush in to give Dragomir a full double up while Fuong became the first final table casualty.
