Uesugi Busts c/o Duong (6th Place – $18,800)


Uesegi got lucky in an earlier hand when his A-7 survived against the big slick. The Japanese can’t find that same luck in this next one, his bust-out hand:

Uesugi shoved his final 200,000 or so and got a call from Ha Duong

Uesugi: K 2
Duong: K J

Dealer flopped Q 3 9 and turned J to give Uesugi some hope of surviving via another split. A 10 didn’t come on the river 3 however, and another is busted out in the final table.

Uesugi finishes in 6th place for $18,800.
