Thong Tran Eliminated in 17th Place ($37,326)
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Thong Tran bet 900,000 from early positon and was met with an all-in from Rudolf Fourie in the big blind for 5,750,000. Tran made the call for less with 4,700,000.
Thong Tran: A?K?
Rudolf Fourie: A?K?
Both players had big slick, but Fourie had the suited variety. The flop of J?10?5? gave Fourie a flush draw and the South African shouted "We are freerolling baby! Let's go!" The J? came on the turn which made Tran slump in his seat in disbelief and Fourie delighted.
The 8? completed the board and Tran gathered his belongings and left the main stage, while Fourie couldn't believe the chips he were stacking up.
