Christopher Park Eliminated in 9th Place

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Christopher Park
Christopher Park

Christopher Park was the shortest stack of the table and found a good spot to shove his less than 10 big blinds stack, from middle position. Yang Zhang was two seats on his left, and reraised to 80,000, with Jingxuan Zhu calling from the big blind.

The flop was {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Yang Zhang continued with a bet, with Jingxuan Zhu quickly folding his hand.

Yang Zhang: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Christopher Park: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Park was in need of help with only two outs, or runner-runner cards for straight and the turn was the {10-Diamonds}. Jingxuan Zhu exploded, saying that he folded a pair of tens, to chuckles from the rest of the table. The dealer brought the {8-Spades} on the river to complete the board and sent Park to the rail.

Final Table Set

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Yuan Yilu
Yuan Yilu

Siqi He is the player eliminated in 10th place, bringing the remaining players to the final table. He lost an all in with eights against Yuan Yilu's kings and was left with 22,000, which he shoved from the cutoff shortly afterward. Jingxuan Zhu was in the small blind and called, only to see Yaun Yilu move all in from the big blind.

Jingxuan Zhu folded and the two players opened their cards.

Yuan Yilu: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Siqi He: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

The board was a roller coaster of emotions with the flop of {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} giving some hope to He, providing him a straight draw, minus two outs for Yilu's flush draw. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn was one of them giving a big lead to Siqi He, while Yilu was hunting a club for the flush. The {8-Clubs} was exactly what he wanted to see, and Siqi He departed in 10th place.

Final table seat draw and stacks to follow.

Always Drawing Dead Against Yang Zhang

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Yang Zhang
Yang Zhang

The 2019 PokerStars APPT Jeju Main Event runner-up Yang Zhang is running hot in the first level of the final High Roller event. As in the previous hand, where Yang Zhang put his money in the middle while his opponent was drawing dead, the same happened when he busted Changyang Liu.

The two players were all in in the turn with the board reading {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. Yang Zhang was holding {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} with quads and Changyang Liu had just {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}. Another river that couldn't change anything with Yang Zhang in the pot, and Changyang Liu is in the rail.

A little bit earlier Haoqi Xie busted too, so the field is left with ten players, playing the final table bubble.

Genhan Li Eliminated in Massive Pot

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Genhan Li started the day with only one big blind, and he managed to triple up by winning a pot with king-seven against Changyang Liu's queen-ten.

A couple of hands later he was in the big blind and had to put the rest of his chips in the middle, with heavy action. Zang Yang raised to 7,000 from under the gun, Yuan Yilu three-bet to 21,000, and Genhan Li used one time bank before committing the rest of his stack in the pot. Yang Zhang called the three-bet and the three players went to the flop.

{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} were the first three community cards, and Yuan Yilu check-called a bet at 15,000 by Yang Zhang. The {j-Diamonds} hit the turn, and this time Yang Zhang bet 36,000 after his opponent's check. Yuan Yilu announced all in after some seconds, and Yang Zhang snap-called with nuts!

Yang Zhang: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Yuan Yilu: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Genhan Li: {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The {6-Clubs} on the river was a formality, and the dealer counted Yang Zhang's stack as 117,500, which was the amount Yuan Yilu had to pay to him. Meanwhile, Genhan Li had already left his seat.
