Sheng-Chien Cheng Eliminated in 16th Place, Howard Sun Eliminated in 15th Place, Both for TWD 98,000 ($3,125)
Level 23
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
There have been two quick back-to-back eliminations, with Sheng-Chien Cheng busting to Ling He, and then Howard Sun falling at the hands of the UK's Alex Lindop immediately afterward.
We did not catch the action in the Cheng bust out but arrived in time to see Lindop and Sun battle it out in the blinds. Lindop limped the small blind and Sun shoved from the big, with the Brit calling to put Sun at risk.
Alex Lindop: 
Howard Sun: 
While Sun had the better queen, Lindop picked up a flush draw on the 
flop, and got there on the 
turn, leaving Sun drawing dead. The 
river was merely a formality and the field is now down to 14 players.
