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.
