Right before the dinner break, John Shin sent Senghuawan Lee home in a hand that lasted five minutes into the break. According to a few of the players, Kenneth Rawlinson had raised to 7,500 pre-flop, Lee called in middle position, and Shin called in late position.

The flop came 9♣8♠5♠. Rawlinson checked, Lee bet 6,500, Shin made it 21,000, Lee raised to 65,000, and Shin shoved all in, having Lee covered. Lee tanked for nearly four minutes before calling for his tournament life.

Lee: Q♠10♠ (flush draw)
Shin: 5♥5♦  (set of fives)

The 8♣ turn pairs the board and gives Shin a full house, so the 6♠ river becomes inconsequential, and Lee is eliminated from play.  

John Shin - 470,000
Senghuawan Lee - Eliminated

Seunghwan Lee (10 seat), Sam Al-Shurieki (5 seat)
The large pot is attracting players from the neighboring tables.  Vanessa Selbst comes over and asks her friend in the one seat what the pre-flop action was. The player responds, "It was bet, call, three-bet on the button."

Lee thinks for over four minutes before opting to fold his hand.  He stands up from the table, and walks away from the tournament area with his friend Je Wook Oh that was watching on the rail.

Al-Shurieki's hands are shaking, and as the pot is pushed over to him, he stands up and walks over to a friend at another table and starts whispering to him.

Sam Al-Shurieki - 335,800
Seunghwan Lee - 250,000
