Michael Soyza: [asad]

Hand-For-Hand Has Begun
The tournament is now down to the final nine and the top eight are set to get paid. Hand-for-hand play will be enforced until the bubble has popped.
Thai Ha Triples, Michael Soyza Takes Side, Aaron Van Blarcum Heads Home
Thai Ha moved all in for 548,000 total from the button and Michael Soyza shoved over the top, totaling 1,269,000. Aaron Var Blarcum called his 1,220,000 into the middle and all three tabled their hands.
Thai Ha: [jsjd]
Aaron Van Blarcum: [asks]
Michael Soyza: [ahqc]
The flop rolled out [acjc7h], landing a set for Ha but Blarcum still was leading the side-pot. That changed when a [qs] hit the felt, giving Soyza two pair and the [8d] river cemented it.
Soyza took down the side and Ha scooped the main, shipping Blarcum to the door.

Paul Phua Flops Nut-Flush Draw But Only Has One Out
The flop read [9s8s7c] when Paul Phua put the rest of his chips into the middle and Dmitriy Kuzmin called, having just slightly more chips than the Malaysian.
Paul Phua: [asks]
Dmitriy Kuzmin: [jsts]
Kuzmin had flopped the nut-straight with an open-ended straight flush draw and Phua then had fewer outs than initially thought, leaving him with just a [6s] left that could take down the pot.
The [9d] turn and [6h] cemented the pot for Kuzmin who sent Phua to the sidelines.
