Zhifan Ye Bows Out in 6th Place - $16,700

Stacking just shy of a million or roughly ten big blinds, Zhifan Ye moved all-in on the button and was challenged by Craig Jones on the small blind.
A crucial flip, Jones's overcards took it this time with the board 3♣ 9♠ A♣ 5♦ J♥ quickly rolling ace-high. Ye cemented his run in 6th place, raking over a 3x profit on his $5,000 investment.

Conor Grimsley Fills Up for the Win

Conor Grimsley defended his big blind against Zhifan Ye's 200,000 cutoff open, and went ahead and led all-in for his last 335,000 on flop 7♠ 4♦ 2♠ . Ye made the call with A♦ 3♥ , putting Grimsley at risk with a flush draw Q♠ 9♠ .
Turn 3♠ instantly landed a third spade, leaving Ye drawing dead while at the same time, sealing the double up for Grimsley.
