Michael Soyza had a short day at the Final 8 as he has just been railed in 7th place by Austin Walton. Fresh off winning a huge pot against Shyh Chyn Lim, Walton raised to 27k from the cutoff and Soyza called on the big blind.
At the flop Q♠ A♠ 4♠, Soyza check-called Walton’s 35k bet. On the A♣ turn, Soyza checked, Walton announced all in, and Soyza called for his tournament life.
Walton A♦ 8♠
Soyza A♥ 6♦
With both players holding trips, the chances of a split was possible but with the river 3♥, it was not to be as Walton’s kicker played. Soyza was eliminated. He earned HKD 64,100 for his impressive run at the Main Event.
Walton is now the overwhelming chip leader with over 1M in chips. 6 players remaining.
