John Paredes hung in there despite coming in below average. He scored a few double ups but still couldn’t bring it up to par. He took his last stand, falling in 11th place.
Action heated up with a raise by Paul Hong, three-bet by Son Putin, shove by short stacked Paredes, another shove by Hong to isolate, and a fold from Putin giving up over 200k in chips.
Paredes K♠ 9♠
Hong 8♦ 8♠
The board ran 6♠ 7♥ 10♦ Q♠ 7♣. We are down to the unofficial final table of ten players.
