Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
John Sun - 5th Place
John Sun - 5th Place

John Sun opened for 125,000 from the cutoff and Sunny Ali defended from the big blind, which brought about a flop of {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Ali checked, Sun bet 200,000, and Ali check-raised all in. Sun snap-called off and discovered the bad news.

Sun: {q-Spades}{q-}
Ali: {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Sun held a big pocket pair, but Ali had flopped the nuts. The {J-Clubs} turn left Sun drawing dead, and after the {A-Spades} was put out on the river, the hometown favorite was sent to the rail in fifth place for $26,808.
