Even 2 Pairs Can’t Save Hyun Thae Hweng (10th – $10,300)


Huy Pham started off the action with a 36,000 bet preflop. Mike Fawaz flatted but Hyun Thae Hweng shoved his stack worth 57,000. Pham called and so did Fawaz.

Flop: 2 A J

Both players were content in seeing the rest of the board checking the turn 7 and river 4.

Hweng: A 7
Pham: A 8
Fawaz: 7 7

Hweng thought he had the triple-up but rather gets the boot from the main event. We are now down to 9 players as Fawaz climbs to around 570,000 after the hand.
