Mason Malugeon raised from early position, and Seungwoo Koh was the lone opponent from the small blind. The two would then get all of the former’s chips into the middle after a flop of [5c][3d][2c]. Malugeon had [Qc][Qh] for an overpair, but Koh had a big blind special hand with [3s][2d] for two pair.

The turn [Jd] and river [Ac] didn’t change a thing, and Malugeon was the first casualty of the final table.
