Jianfeng Sun Eliminated by Daniel Byshell

Level 9: 800 / 1,600 ante: 1,600

With the final board showing 8 7 6 J Q and a little less than 20K in the pot, Jianfeng Sun moves all in under the gun for 27,400, and Daniel Byshell goes into the tank in the hijack.


Byshell tanks for a very long time before he calls, and Sun shows A 9 for ace high. Byshell turns over 5 5 to win the pot with an underpair and eliminate Sun.
