Phillip Hui
6th-Place Finisher Phillip Hui

It didn’t take long for Phillip Hui to get his short stack all in during a round of Big O (5-card Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo). Adam Friedman and Hui saw a flop of Qh10d2h, and that’s when Hui got it all in.

Adam Friedman:  AhJd9h3c2c  (ace-high flush draw, wrap straight draw)
Phillip Hui:  AsQs10h5d3s  (top two pair)

The turn was the 3h, the river was the 9d, and Friedman won the pot with a heart flush to eliminate Hui in sixth place.

Adam Friedman  –  58,000
Phillip Hui  –  Eliminated in 6th Place
