Kevin Hong raised to 24,000 from middle position and action folded to Ray in the small blind. He called himself all in and the players tabled their hands.
Ray: 109
Hong: K9
Board: J8245
Ray was dominated preflop but the flop was very helpful giving him an open ended straight draw. The turn added more outs as he developed a flush draw and had a ton of outs to double up. But the river was a brick for Ray and he was the first casualty of the final table, exiting in 6th place and pocketing $31,966.
