Dongwuk Moon Eliminated in 2nd Place ($70,000)

zedmaster84

Niveau 18 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

After a series of limped pots that mostly went the way of Artur Martirosian, the stack of Dongwuk Moon had dwindled to 12 big blinds. Once more, Martirosian limped the button and Moon pushed all-in, which brought with it the snap-call by the Russian.

"You got me," Moon said as he was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar before flipping over his cards.

Dongwuk Moon: Q♦7♣
Artur Martirosian: A♥K♣

The A♣10♣10♦ flop left Moon on very thin ice, needing running cards to avoid the elimination. Some glimmer of hope came with the Q♣ turn but the K♦ river ended his remarkable run in second place for $70,000.

For Martirosian, it was the second WSOP gold bracelet after winning the $10K HU Championship on GGPoker earlier this year.

A full recap of today's action is to follow.
