Yueqi Zhu Eliminated in 16th Place

Livello 23 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold 'em

After Yueqi Zhu raised to 47,000 under the gun and got a call from Walter Chambers on the button, Per Hildebrand made it 160,000 to go from the big blind.

Both players called and a big pot was brewing, with Zhu only holding 155,000 behind.

On the 9♠2♠Q♣ flop, Hildebrand led for 200,000, Zhu called off his stack, and after some thought, Chambers also called.

The turn was the J♦ and after Hildebrand now checked, Chambers moved all in for about 650,000. Hildebrand folded and he had Zhu at risk.

Yueqi Zhu: A♠A♦
Walter Chambers: Q♥J♥

The river 10♣ couldn't save Zhu as Chambers cracked his aces to win a huge pot and move up toward the chip lead.

2-7 Triple Draw

Andrew Barfield raised in the cutoff before Tamon Nakamura reraised on the button. Barfield called and drew two, while Nakamura took one.
