Levi Stevens Eliminated in 3rd Place ($106,820 CAD)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Levi Stevens
Levi Stevens

Levi Stevens shoved again, but this time Lu Zhang called.

Zhang: {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Stevens: {K-Spades}{3-Hearts}

Stevens was dominated and would need serious help to survive, but found none from the {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Spades} board.

As Stevens hit the rail third, Zhang and Sheraz Nasir enter heads-up play with very similar stack sizes.

Gary Lucci opened for 125,000 and Lu Zhang piled it in from the big blind.

Lucci called all in for his tournament life holding {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. Zhang had two overs in the form of {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and took the lead in the classic race when the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop fell.

Lucci needed help to survive, but found none on the {5-Clubs} turn or {8-Diamonds} river.

Sheraz Nasir
Sheraz Nasir

Sheraz Nasir is now firmly in the lead once again.

Lu Zhang made it 125,000 and Nasir three-bet, making it 325,000. Zhang called and they went heads-up to a {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Nasir bets 375,000 and Zhang called. The turn came the {5-Diamonds} and this time Nasir check-called a 475,000 chip bet from Zhang.

The river was the {9-Spades} and both players checked with Nasir showing {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Zhang mucked.

Levi Stevens
Levi Stevens

Lu Zhang made it 125,000 and Levi Stevens defended his big blind.

After Stevens checked the {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, Zhang continued for 85,000, but Stevens was waiting in the wings with a check-raise and moved in for 440,000 total.

Zhang called with {K-Spades}{10-Spades} and was behind Stevens' {9-Spades}{5-Spades}.

He made a boat on the {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} run out to survive.

Lucci Doubles; Zhang Fights Back

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Lu Zhang
Lu Zhang

Lu Zhang pushed Levi Stevens off a sizable pot with a big river bet before carefully tangling with Sheraz Nazir in another hand showing down pocket kings to beat his nines.

Then she picked off a Gary Lucci bluff with two pair and found herself back over four million in chips.

A hand later, Lucci picked up {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and got it in against Nasir on {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, doubling through on a {4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} run out.

Still four-handed, Zhang is back on top again.
