With the board running 9♦ 8♠ 5♦ 4♠ J♣ , the instant two pair at the flop holds for a double up to Zheng.

Defending his big blind, Xiaosheng Zheng goes on to check-call a 110,000 bet from Hai Tran at the flop 5♠ A♥ 3♥ . Both players opt on checking the turn A♠ then with the 6♠ river, Tran fires 245,000, Zheng tanks using up three time banks then tosses his hand in the muck.

Only 7 players remaining which means one more bust for Day 3 to wrap up.

Yao Liu three-bet jams from the button and is snap-called by the original raiser Xiaosheng Zheng.

Liu is dominated and doesn’t improve to past Zheng to finish in 12th place.

Xiaosheng Zheng looks down K♥ K♣ and puts in a min-raise. Several spots over Felix Von Rahden with Q♠ Q♣ flats, and with no other callers the flop spreads an all spade board of 7♠ 6♠ K♠ .

Zheng bets the minimum of 40,0000 for his set, again Rahden calls. On the turn Q♥ , Rahden also lands a set and calls to complete the board 7♥ .

Zheng fires all in, Rahden doesn’t hesitate and calls. Both show and Rahden pays the double up.

Amit Kaushik defends his big blind from Xiaosheng Zheng’s raise then check it to the turn 5♣ 6♦ 9♦ A♣ . Following another check from Kaushik, Zheng bets 60,000, Kaushik raises to 150,000, and Zheng calls to continue the duel.

On the river 5♥ , Kaushik jams 325,000, Zheng tanks for one time bank then gives up his hand.
