Duong Scores Knockout Blow Shortly After Break
Niveau 20
: Limits 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
Paul Sokoloff moved all in as a short stack in middle position to start action in Level 20, but was quickly called by Kimphong Duong, who was on the button.
The small and big blinds folded, allowing both players to table their hands.
Sokoloff tabled Q♦10♣, but saw he was behind when Duong turned over 9♠9♦.
The dealer ran out 5♠K♥6♣7♣5♦, giving Duong the win with two pair and sending Sokoloff out in 59th place.
Sokoloff started a mini-run of players to exit, as the tournament restarted with 60 players in the field but the number dropped to 56 less than 15 minutes after the break ended.
