Cheng Zhao Eliminated in 16th Place (€5,075); Yannick Jobin Eliminated in 17th Place (€5,075)
Yannick Jobin decided to go all-in from the hijack position, and things got spicy when Cheng Zhao, sitting on the button, asked the dealer for a count. After hearing the total was 360,000, Zhao also shoved all-in. Traian Stanciu in the big blind didn’t hesitate and snap-called both, leading to a dramatic showdown.
Yannick Jobin: A♣6♣
Cheng Zhao: A♦Q♠
Traian Stanciu: Q♥Q♣
The flop came down 4♦Q♦J♣, giving Stanciu a set of queens and putting him in a strong position. The turn brought the A♥, giving Zhao two pair but still trailing behind Stanciu. He must have been hoping for the last ace in the deck to pull ahead. However, the river revealed the 10♦, and with that, both Jobin and Zhao were sent to the rail while Stanciu secured a solid stack for himself.
