Yanchao Zhao Eliminated in 12th Place ($11,400)
Level 24
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Michael Malm raised to 475,000 from middle position and Benjamin Miner flatted from the small blind, which left him just 120,000 behind. Yanchao Zhao then called from the big, leaving himself 80,000 back, and it was three-way action to a flop of 6♠6♣7♠
Zhao moved all in, Malm shoved over the top, and Miner called off leading to all three hands being turned on their backs.
Yanchao Zhao: A♥K♣
Benjamin Miner: Q♦Q♠
Michael Malm: A♦K♠
Miner was ahead while Zhao and Malm had the same hand. The 9♣ turn was a brick and so was the J♣ river. Miner claimed the entire pot, nearly tripling up in the process, while Zhao was eliminated from the tournament.
