Hussein Hassan Eliminated in 16th Place ($15,000)
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Arnaud Bonhomme-Lemieux opened to 275,000 under the gun. Hussein Hassan jammed for about 2,475,000 from the small blind. Di Zhang was in the big blind and took his time. After thinking for close to two minutes he called.
Bonhomme-Lemieux instantly re-jammed over the top and Zhang shook his head but quickly sigh-called.
Hussein Hassan: J♥J♠ 
Arnaud Bonhomme-Lemieux: A♦A♣
Di Zhang: Q♣Q♥
It was a dream spot for Bonhomme-Lemieux but was not out of the woods yet as Zhang had the largest of the three stacks. The flop came 6♠A♥4♣ to clear the path for the aces as the turn was the 2♥ and the river the A♠ for quads.
Hassan was eliminated and Zhang was left short while Bonhomme-Lemieux collected the big boon for the chip lead.
