Level 18 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Xiaqing Ji
Xiaqing Ji

Xiaqing Ji open-shoved for around two million from the button and Chaofei Wang called in the big blind.

Xiaqing Ji: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Chaofei Wang: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Wang looked poised to double up yet another player after the {6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop, but the {a-Spades} turn gave him the lead and Ji couldn't spike a king on the {7-Clubs} river to stay alive, and the final table chip leader was eliminated in fourth place.

Ji Doubles Through Wang

Level 18 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Chaofei Wang opened to 120,000 and Xiaqing Ji three-bet all in for 1,200,000 from the big blind. Wang called.

Chaofei Wang: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Xiaqing Ji: {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

Just like earlier again Lester Edoc, Wang had got it in in a dominiating position looking to eliminate an opponent. However, just like in Edoc's double up, Ji flopped a gutshot straight draw on the {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop.

And just like earlier, Ji made is wheel straight on the {2-Clubs} turn. Wang still had a flush draw to eliminate his opponent, but the river was the {5-Hearts} and Ji doubled up.

Abhinav Iyer

Shortly after Chaofei Wang's double up, he called a shove from Abhinav Iyer for the Indian's last 1,300,000 chips.

Chaofei Wang: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Abhinav Iyer: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

Wang again would need to hold to increase his chip stack, and he did so on a {8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and Iyer was eliminated in fifth place.

Level 18 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Chaofei Wang was all in for 1,655,000 with {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} against the {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} of Mike Takayama.

Wang needed to hold to stay alive, otherwise Takayama would have almost half the chips in play.
