John Compton Eliminated in 8th Place ($5,950)
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 10,000 ante
Hand#18
Nan Liu opened to 50,000 from the Hijack with A♣K♠10♥7♠ and was called by Vladyslav Shovkovyi in the small blind with A♥K♣6♣5♦ and John Compton in the big blind with K♦Q♦J♦3♦.
The flop came out K♥J♣7♣ and Compton bet the pot of 160,000, but then Liu raised him to 320,000. Shovkovyi quickly got out of the way while Compton moved all in for just 65,000 more, which Liu called.
Compton was in the lead with his king-jack, but the turn A♠ shifted the tide in Liu's favor as he made a superior two pair. The river was the 2♣ and Liu was awarded the pot while Compton was eliminated in 8th place.
