Hao Tian: {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}
Liuheng Dai: {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Xingbiao Zhu: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

The same happened with Xingbiao Zhu who picked up {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and was against Ye Wang's {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The flop gave the lead to Wang with {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, but the {8-Diamonds} on the turn and the {j-Hearts} on the river returned the pot to Zhu.

Yang Zhang Eliminated in 7th Place

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Yang Zhang
Yang Zhang

There were two or three short stacks in the table, but it wasn't one of them that busted on the bubble. Ye Wang had the lead and kept on pressuring his opponents by shoving many of his hands preflop.

On one of these occasions, he was on the button and shoved again, with Xingbiao Zhu in the small blind and Yang Zhang in the big blind. Zhu folded quickly, but Yang Zhang called even quicker, risking his more than 30-big-blind-stack.

Ye Wang: {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Yang Zhang: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop gave the lead to Wang immediately, falling {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Hearts}, the {j-Spades} turn added some outs to Yang's hand, but the {4-Spades} on the river wrote the epilogue for Yang Zhang. The runner-up of this festival's Main Event is the bubble boy of the final High Roller, and all remaining players have secured a place in the payouts.
