Zijing Zhan Eliminated in 41st Place by Daniel Charlton

Level 19: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

With the board showing 8 5 3 T on the turn, Zijing Zhan checks from early position, Daniel Charlton moves all in from the cutoff, and Zhan uses five Time Chips to tank for a long time before he calls all in for 392,000 with A J for a heart flush draw with two overcards.

Charlton turns over 9 9 , and Zhan needs to improve to stay alive.

The river card is the 2 , and Charlton wins the pot with his pocket nines to eliminate Zhan in 41st place.

Max Deveson and Mario Fata Among the Casualties in the Money

Level 16: 4,000 / 8,000 ante: 8,000

A short-stacked Mario Fata survives the bubble and then gets it in with jack-ten to find himself up against Dominik Nitsche with the K 6 .


Fata has a lot of outs on the Q 9 3 flop but bricks the 2 turn as well as the 4 river.


Max Deveson, also a regular on the South African poker circuit, is likewise no longer in contention. The Brit recalls his bustout hand in which pocket kings get cracked by the pocket tens of Zijing Zhan.

Zijing Zhan Sends Jhon Hendri Packing

Level 9: 1,000 / 1,500 ante: 1,500

There is a squeeze to 53,000 in front of Jhon Hendri and he then faces the shove by Zijing Zhan for 112,000 with all other players out of the way. Hendri tanks for nearly two minutes with 51,500 behind and eventually calls all-in, turning over the 7 6 .


His risk doesn't pay off, as the A J of Zhan lock up the pot on the turn of the 5 2 2 A Q board.
