David Choe Eliminated in 17th Place ($10,632)

Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Choe and Sultan Khair raised back at each other preflop, putting Choe's last 400,000 at risk.
David Choe: A?A?4?5?
Sultan Khair: Q?Q?8?8?
The board ran out in Choe's favor with the K?9?10?, but Khair was still drawing to two sets and now had a gutshot to go with it. The turn was the insignificant 5?, but the table let out a collective, "Ohhhhh!" when the 8? peeled on the river, giving Khair three of a kind to win the pot.
