Matthew Su entered the 2022 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table on Friday with big dreams and a big stack. But he ran into some misfortune and was eliminated in ninth place.
The deep run paid out $850,675, his only live tournament score of any significance. Still, the high-stakes cash game player told PokerNews in his postgame interview that he was "disappointed" to have been just the second player out at the final table.
Lucas Tae bet 30,000 from the hijack and the small blind moved all in for 35,000. Jennifer Shahade in the big blind called for 5,000 as did Ho.
Ho was not interested in checking to showdown and bet 30,000 on the flop of ![]()
![]()
. Shahade made the fold and the other two players turned their hands over.
Small Blind: ![]()
![]()
Lucas Tae: ![]()
![]()
Tae was ahead with two pair and there was no help on the runout of ![]()
which sent the short-stack in the small blind out of the tournament three places short of the money.

There aren't many crueler ways to bust the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event than with pocket aces, especially when $10 million and the coveted gold bracelet are within reach.
That's exactly what happened to Philippe Souki about seven hours into Friday's final table. However, he did still receive $1,075,000 as quite a sizable consolation prize for eighth place.
