Vladimir Geshkenbein opened to 42,000 from middle position and Neil Arce made the call on the button before In Wook Choi bumped it to 163,000 out of the small blind.

Geshkenbein passed but Arce made the call to see the {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop drop and a check from Choi.

Arce thought for barely ten seconds before pushing all in to put Choi to a decision for his tournament life.

Choi looked visibly distressed, but made the call.

Choi: {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Arce: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

With Choi drawing virtually dead, the {2-Spades} on the turn would see his fate sealed as he went to shake hands with Arce as the {5-Hearts} dropped on the river.

Choi's efforts won't go unrewarded as he picks up $35,091 for his sixth placing.

"Can't let me have the chip lead for a minute!" sniggered Grant Levy towards Arce as he raked in the pot to move to 2,171,000 in chips.
