Sai Ho Philip Chiu – 5th place
Sai Ho Phlip Chiu was the next short stack to depart and it took three shoves. With 291k left, Chiu was all in and hoped Victor Chong on the big blind wouldn’t wake up with something big. He happily scooped up the pot after Chong folded.
On the next one, it was Michael Tran who shoved first on the utg seat and bb Chiu with the snap-call. Chiu had A♠ Q♣ and Tran was ahead with 8♥ 8♦. The board bricked and Tran doubled up to 650k while Chiu spiraled down to just 34k.
With his remaining chips, he was all in with 8♦ 3♦ and Masato Yokosawa railed him with Q♠ 8♠. Chiu’s impressive run here at the festival ends with a 3rd place finish at the Main Event and a 5th place finish right here at the Championships Event. He earned HKD 127,600 for his deep finish.
