Short-stacked Emanuel Seal needed to double up badly with his 2500 chips. He looked down at A♠ Q♦ and decided it was time. He was called by Wen Ling Gao who held A♥ J♦. Though ahead, the board ran 7♣ 9♥ J♠ K♦ J♥ and with Gao connecting for a pair, Seal was denied a double up instead he bowed out of the Main Event.
