Julio Novo Eliminated in 8th Place ($28,693)
Adria Diaz opened to 800,000 on the button and Jungyang Lin called off for less in the small blind. Julio Novo also called in the big blind to setup action on the side.
Both Novo and Diaz checked through the 9♣10♣7♠ flop to the 5♣ turn at which point Novo checked again. Diaz bet 1,300,000 only to see Novo move all in for 4,725,000. That did not seem to sit well with Diaz but, after asking for an exact count, he committed calling chips with the covering stack to put Novo at risk.
Jungyang Lin: J♣4♣
Julio Novo: J♠10♦
Adria Diaz: Q♣Q♥
Lin had turned a flush to be in the lead for the main pot while Diaz had Novo crushed in the side action heading to the river.
The river bricked off to hand Lin more than a triple up while forcing Novo out in 8th place.
