Biao Ding Eliminated in 13th Place (€18,210)
Biao Ding open-jammed from under the gun with just under 1,600,000 and Rubens Sellam called in the big blind with a slightly smaller stack.
Rubens Sellam: K♣K♦
Biao Ding: A♠10♥
The board ran out 9♦8♣3♥J♠8♦ and Sellam screamed "yes, papa!" as his kings held up for a double, while Ding was left with less than a big blind and forced all in the next hand.
Tomas Patka opened to 340,000 from the hijack and Anatoly Chen three-bet to 1,125,000 from the cutoff. Patka tanked for over a minute and called.
Patka checked on the flop of 6♣K♥4♥ and Chen quickly moved all in to get Patka to fold just as quickly.
Biao Ding: 9♠7♠
Anatoly Chen: A♣K♣
Ding was drawing very thin but the 9♦ on the turn gave him some hope before the 5♥ river confirmed his elimination in 13th place.
